"Voters are stupid" economist Jonathan Gruber and Marilyn Tavenner face Issa and the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee today on C-SPAN 3.
FOX News reports that Tavenner has asked that she be seated anywhere but next to Gruber. Apparently, Gruber is radioactive. Time will tell whether this affliction is covered under Obamacare.
Gruber being a smart ass when asked if he has documents reflecting the amount of money he has received via tax payer funded sources. Gruber says yes, he has documents, all sorts of documents. With a smirk—he has a piece of paper in front of him! That will win brownie points with the Oversight Committee. They always appreciate witnesses tossing turds at them.
Whoops, suggests getting all records including the period of time working for Romney.
I’m thinking Gruber will be invited back for an “encore” performance, given today’s non-answers.
Gerald Connolly, RAT Virginia, trying to run interference for Gruber.
Gruber claims he met once with Romney about Romneycare and once with Obama.
Who would believe this crap?
***********
Did you notice Connolly said the “fines” so low in MA
He did not say tax
Connolly seems to think we would defend or appreciate Romneycare.
Tying Gruber to “successes” of Romneycare.
He never asked how expensive it is.
Walberg up.
Is Trey Gowdy on this committee? Has he been up yet?
They can’t do that.

Most important part of #Gruber hearing? Tavenner admits CMS NOT TELLING #ACA fed HIX enrollees premiums cld quadruple by June. #KingvBurwell
No, but there's a significant risk. And the #ACA says they would have to repay any subsidies. They're putting enrollees at risk. @daveweigel
Gowdy would make Gruber pee his pants. And that would be fantastic.
the breathing tax - the tax for being alive is obamacare - everyone must pay this tax
he is!! Batting clean up,too!
Yep.... I think that’s for certain.
“Why did Obama lie?”
Thanks! Well , he should be up soon then.
Is Trey Gowdy on this committee? Has he been up yet?
************
Gowdy is coming - he is always near the end - gives him a chance to observe and clean up
Wish I was as confident as you that Gruber will be hauled back to testify. Congressional committee work is winding down for their looooong winter festivus break until the new members are sworn in next year.
Chavetz: “I’m not interested in talking to your counsel. I’m asking you.”
thanks for representing our thoughts...
Gnashing of teeth? /facepalm
Chafetz cooly replies, “do you understand the question?”
Rep. Cartwright is pained. Gee whiz.
