=========================================================
Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber hired himself out as a "healthcare consultant" to help states configure their mandated healthcare coverage....
Gruber billed the State of Vermont for hours that “were impossible to accomplish--he billed out 500 hours a month for his research assistants but an auditor found that he only had one research assistant....the auditor even criticized the state's Democrat admin---eople who were supposed to be overseeing Gruber's contract did not demand any details---they just asked for summary bills and then they paid them without question....
This is potentially a federal crime w/ federal penalties and requres the involvement of the US Attorney....b/c federal tax dollars were involved and govt fraud must be considered.
========================================================
BACKSTORY---MICHIGAN WARY OF GRUBER
MICHIGAN Rep.-elect Gary Glenn, R-Midland, said he will formally request Monday that the state House of Representatives Research Services Division investigate why Michigan’s payment was more than what Wisconsin ($400,000), Vermont ($400,000) and Minnesota ($329,000) paid.
Glenn will request that State Rep. Tom McMillin, R-Rochester Hills, chairman of the House Government Oversight Committee, and State Rep. Matt Lori, R-Constantine, chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee, investigate the state’s deal with Gruber.
Rep. McMillin said he’d ask the Department of Community Health how Gruber was selected and what services he provided for the money.
“Mr. Gruber appears to be a very devious man – perhaps with a proclivity for fraud,” Rep. McMillin said in an email. “Based on the info I receive, I’ll decide if a hearing is warranted.”
===========================================
Just one of the scam perpetrated on state taxpayers. Money-laundering, conspiracy and massive govt fraud should be considered. Read on.
The salient point is this: Gruber acting as an independent researcher is one thing---but Gruber consorting w/ many people in govt figuring out ways to lie in order to dupe the tax-paying public is a CONSPIRACY.
The connivers passed O/Care w/ a massive, multi-billion-dollar slush fund that was deliberately kept hidden from us "stupid taxpayers" by self-serving Grubercrats.
=========================================
The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, Democrats slavishly voted for Obamacare by an historic straignt-party line vote. But not one Democrat told Americans about Obamacare's Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).
THE PAYOFF--WHO GETS THE MONEY? In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion, and, in 2015 and on, $2 billion
<><> Where is all that money going?
<><> Was cashing-in the incentive in getting the thing passed?
The sound of West Wing wire-transfers to states and to offshore banks is almost palpable.
However, some of these contracts have “consulting” components which usually involve estimates of time needed. There are only about 1900-2000 work hours per year in normal situations.
If you couple that with the amount of time he gets paid as an MIT professor, where did Gruber get the time to work all these contracts?
<><> How were Gruber's contracts bid?
<><> What was the pricing structure.
<><> Did he falsify his work schedule?
<><> Was he working on simultaneous govt contracts, and getting paid as a "full-time" consultant?
The WH can give out contracts however they want (e.g., sole source), but the contract eventually has to go through some sort of award audit for review and approval......
Only because I gave the abridged version. Yours was a higher quality version.
Somebody RATted him out when he became a liability (no longer useful).
Toensing concluded, “federal money was involved. So, this is potentially a federal crime, and the US Attorney should be getting involved in this. And I just can’t believe they haven’t already.”
I am certain that US AG Eric Holder will make this situation a TOP priority!
“federal money was involved. So, this is potentially a federal crime, and the US Attorney should be getting involved in this. And I just can’t believe they haven’t already.”
Has anyone been held accountable of any of the crimes
commuted by this administration? Does it look like anyone
ever will? The worst that may happen to this crook is he may
have to give some of the money back, if that. Now some may
say that many communists lost reelection over these things
but most were just replaced with more of the same just with
a different title.
Mussolini did the same thing.
Obviously they failed to realize that Gruber’s genius IQ was a “time multiplier”
As long as he’s librul and supports Big Government he can get away with it.
Gruber’s a liberal elite - hence a liar and a thief.
It’s time to look at all the ‘global warming’ studies... I suspect most of them have people billing at the rate of 300 work hours a day.
We know who liberal elites are - we know the contempt they have for this country and the people who live here. Do we have to be robbed by the jerks too?
He’s NOT getting away with it... that’s the fun part. Our side is starting to fight back.
