“....Not all of the contracts could be found on public Web sites, but here are a sampling. In some cases, Gruber worked with other consultants, so the fees were shared. These figures also might not represent the final payout. But its safe to say that about $400,000 appears to be the standard rate for gaining access to the Gruber Microsimulation Model.
Michigan: $481,050
Minnesota: $329,000
Vermont: $400,000
Gruber has also earned more than $2 million over the last seven years for an on-going contract with HHS to assess choices made by the elderly in Medicares prescription-drug plan.....”
and his conclusion about the elderly, “surprise”, they weren’t making the “right choices”. shock!
Most if not all states have laws against misappropriating public funds.
There are also laws against falsifying govt records.
Hiring someone to falsify govt records and lie is clearly covered under these laws.
The people that hired him are just as guilty as he is.
