I saw this segment about Gruber this morning on Morning Joe.
Former Gov. of Vermont Howard “Yeah!” Dean said the problem was the law was written by a bunch of elitist who don’t fundamentally understand the American people.
Gruber talking to Roan “Mia” Farrow said that the better way to do it was how they did it in MA and give people money to offset their healthcare, but that was politically unfeasible, and instead it was done through the tax code.
Now here is the spin from the panel:
Mike Barnacle:There was an budget director, Stockman, during the Reagan administration that said during an interview that none of us really understands the federal budget. Implying that Reagan knew nothing about the budget.
Mika said but there was a huge firestorm afterwards.
Dean: This guy was merely a consultant, not the architect, so it is not a bad a reflection of the current administration as that was on Reagan’s. And Stockman had a direct line to the president while Gruber probably did not.
Elise Viebak:(staff writer on the Hill, I think)
Makes this sounds very conspiratol, and that this was done in secret in back rooms. But there was a much more open process than Republicans believe. The parts of the bill was out there and open.
Dean: The Republicans are didn’t want to their input, so they should stop complaining, since they were trying to sabotage it. It’s the law 15 mil on OC. Plenty, Dean did not like but it’s the law and it works. This dustup is beating a dead horse.

Dean is a bald faced liar. Gruber met with Nero 19 times to discuss NeroCare, helped write it and was paid 400,000 dollars to promote it
Every one of these NAZI bastards ought to be serving life for their corruption.
