yup...stupid....
I’ll take Gruber lied to Congress for $200, Alex.
The ONLY person who believed Gruber’s crap was JOHN ROBERTS.
That’s a point I didn’t see anyone making.
Not only is he a dumbass, but his analysis is way wrong... people pay him for this?
This is an x Ray into the soul of progressives, why they historically support the ultra rich and trod upon the rights of the little guy. Wilson’s support of the Federal Reserve Act was sold as protecting the common people against banks & crashes. Progressive Foxes guarding the Chicken House.
Gruber wasn’t stupid. He knew the damage this legislation would do. He considers all those things as collateral damage justifiable on the basis of income transfer and equalization of healthcare.
I hate the law as much as the next person. I want it repealed 5 years ago.
But, to me, the most disturbing thing about this is what he said about Kennedy and how he figured out a way to steal all the money from Medicare. Yet, Republicans are always the ones painted that they want to take it away from everyone. And yet, no one cares. O’care does the same thing to help offset costs, but no one cares. People really are stupid.
Once heard a story that if SocSec were its own separate entity and not part of the general fund, that it would be solvent, or at least more stable than it is now. I can’t imagine it being all the stable no matter what, given the strain of all the phony disabled and illegals on it. Anyone shed some light on that?
