We didn’t fall off a building,we were pushed.

I’ve been wondering what Pajama Boy’s background is.
Wondered what silver-spoon enclave he came from,
what privileged brilliance spawned his heart and mind.
(Yes, Pajama Boy. I have it on the HIGHEST degree
of accuracy that PB was based on The Grubs.
I read it on Facebook).
Anyway, found this on a website: (formatted for FR)
Ridgewood NJ? Just trying to shed more light on the guy,
in case any of his old teachers want to stand up
and be counted as influences.
“Hello, my people!
Do you not know that Jonathan Gruber,
blameworthy primary architect and shameless
promoter of Obamacare, is the son of long time
Ridgewood residents Martin and Ellie Gruber of
South Irving Street in Ridgewood,
the same street
on which lived (at the same time) James Hansen,
high-ranking NASA scientist and blameworthy
primary architect and shameless promoter of the
now thoroughly discredited theory of
anthropogenic global warming? “..... snip
Gruber is another Soros/Ayers Sonderkommando!
LIEberalism—— liars, liars, OBammycare’s on fires.
Lower healthcare costs = lie
Keep your plans = lie
Keep your doctors = lie
Let’s not forget the friendly opt out fines that will kick in and increase every year for awhile. Ok they spoke a truth on that one. Pay up stupid American voters.
Gruber is looking for ways to downplay religion and show that the government god is the best for everyone.
I am curious if anyone knows what religion he is. I can’t find anything.
Here are some of his technical papers on religion and economy. All information below is not mine, but copied from the net.

PAY OR PRAY?
THE IMPACT OF CHARITABLE SUBSIDIES ON RELIGIOUS ATTENDANCE
http://www.freakonomics.com/media/PayOrPray.pdf
In “Pay or Pray? The Impact of Charitable Subsidies on Religious Attendance” (abstract; PDF), Gruber tried to determine whether giving money to church is a complement to religious attendance or a substitute — and, whether it’s the giving or the going that actually makes people better off. Here’s his suggestion for the Rogers Family:
GRUBER: I would say if it’s really going … to church that matters for them, for their happiness and well-being, then they should maybe even give less and just go more.
And here’s what Gruber found in his paper “Religious Market Structure, Religious Participation, and Outcomes: Is Religion Good for You?” (abstract; PDF):
GRUBER: [The religious are] more likely to have higher incomes, higher education, have more stable marriages, be less likely to be on welfare, essentially be more successful on any economic measure you want to use.
Here’s-Another-One BUMP
Why "falling off a building"? is that a common occurrence, or an often used phrase? Does it mean an event was rare? Or that it was unavoidable?
Or that it was no big deal? Just collateral damage? Do architects or engineers, police, hospitals, or city planners really take it into account that a certain number of people will fall from buildings every year?
Falling off a building is a pretty catastrophic event for somebody, isn't it? I also have to ask if anybody thinks of 9/11 when they hear Gruber's phrase. Or maybe of suicides.
In any case, there's something wrong with Jonathan Gruber. Borderline autistic, maybe?
Jonathan Gruber is not a bad guy. Obama got a personal and professional reference on Gruber from Mitt Romney, his prior consulting client, before hiring him. Romney was the first to have Jonathan Gruber figure out how to scam the taxpayers to fund a corrupt system that robs them of their money and freedom. Mitt Romney gave Jonathan Gruber his start. Mitt Romney thinks he should be the Republican Presidential nominee in 2016.
