Follow the Money: Your Tax Dollars Bought Jonathan Gruber’s Services

Firedoglake has been researching the relationship of MIT economist Jonathan Gruber with the Obama administration with regard to health care reform. You’ll find posts by emptywheel, dday and Jon Walker about the apparent conflicts of interest on Gruber’s part, that of the Obama administration and the media covering health care reform.

We’re still looking at the money – yes, follow the money, as Deep Throat once said – paid out to Gruber by the government. OUR MONEY, our tax dollars, paid out to Gruber under three administrations. You can view the numbers at this link, at which you’ll find a published spreadsheet with all information compiled from USASpending.gov and NIH websites (links to sources at the end of this post).

But there are more questions after looking at the data; perhaps the answers are innocuous and amount to nothing, but it would certainly be nice to have some answers.

HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE BY HIDING A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR SLUSH FUND IN FEDERAL LEGISLATION Gruber was paid $400,000 tax dollars to spin his web of lies....pretending to be a disinterested, "objective" participant..... then lied about being paid for his lies.

Even more pertinent is the huge billion dollar slush fund Gruber hid from "stupid" Americans in Obamacare.

<><> Where is all that money going?

<><> Was cashing-in the incentive in getting the thing passed?

=========================================

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

==================================================

Taxpayers demand to know ---- why Gruber/Obama/Pelosi didnt reveal that Obamacare contains a multi-billion dollar slush fund?

Exactly who is cashing in?

The sound of wire-transfers to offshore banks is almost palbable.

Didn't former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sibelius issue a no-bid contract to a Canadian company CGI where Michelle Obama's fellow Princeton grad and classmate, Tonie Townes-Whitley was a senior vice president and where Valerie Jarrett's daughter Laura and son-in-law Tony Balkissoon also worked?

Balkissoon's father was already involved up to his eyeballs in Canadian politics

And CGI is the Canadian company that originally put together the Obamacare website - with all the "glitches???"

Liberal politicians are up-to-their-Jarretts in Canada but in light of ongoing computer scandals, their version of ‘joined at the hip’ would be better described as ‘joined at the data link’.

Yet, If it hadn’t been for the ongoing epic failure of healthcare.guv—ObamaCare—we may have missed the long road of computer scandals that seems to now serve as the government’s way to feed mega money to their friends and supporters.

Indeed, the ObamaCare website failure may unwittingly end up blowing the whistle on one of the biggest government slush fund set ups in latter day history because the runaway costs on healthcare.gov uncovers a long trajectory of failed multi-million dollar government websites that point to coincidences way too many.

CGI, the Canadian company that launched healthcare.gov, is peopled with friends of the Obamas, including Michelle Obama’s Princeton school chum, Toni Townes-Whitley. CGI is not just the company behind the healthcare.gov epic fail. CGI is also the company behind the $2.7-billion failed, Liberal-launched Canadian Gun Registry that was so plagued with corruption and mismanagement it brought on an investigation by Canadian Auditor General Sheila Fraser.

Government website glitches can make for perfect stall tactics allowing timelines for election-bound politicians to get past elections like the upcoming 2014 midterms.

Healthcare.gov—Jeff Zeints-guaranteed as “good to go” by the end of November 2013—can rely on a company that could have already proven itself “too big to not fail”.

Obama’s biggest alibi over the past five years has been he “didn’t know”. As of this morning it was revealed Obama didn’t know America was spying on 35 world leaders. What goes on in NSA must stay in the NSA.

But how could Obama really know that the Canadian gun registry database originated with CGI and that because of long delays and cost overruns on a diabetic registry, CGI’s contract was cancelled by the Ontario Liberal Government in 2012.?
