"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.
Meadows caught Tavenner in a big fat whopper via an email.
“Gruber: I have no philosophy - I am an economist”
They are not patients to him, they are just numbers tattooed on arms.
Paul Krugman is an economist too.
Question: has anyone asked Gruber about his exchange subsidies comment? Thats the biggie, IMHO, because unlike this other stuff it can impact the upcoming SCOTUS case.
I've been on FR for 14 years. Your comment is one of the most spot on that I've ever read on a real time thread while we are watching something like this committee hearing. A chilling observation. Chilling and accurate.
Mornin, tank! Good question. My ‘free’ wi-fi isn’t strong enough to stream cspan so I’m hanging on everyone’s words :)
The guy with yellow tie keeps yawning and lookin bored. Is he a Dem?
When you’re not in power, or lack power, the only help is law.
Microsimulation. *slap*
Interesting to note the R reps are from Michigan.

Yes it was asked, but can’t recall who - it was mentioned on the thread.
Kerry Bentivolio now talking about the deception by Gruber, calls him a co-conspirator
Co-conspirator. Bam.
“Kerry Bentivolio now talking about the deception by Gruber, calls him a co-conspirator”
Bump!
Issa: “why don’t you recall?”
Subpoena time!
Issa threatens subpoena if Gruber won’t come clean on how much money he received in total.
Issa just stated a subpoena is coming.
Trey Gowdy SCHOOLS Gruber on his ‘stupid’ comments – “Can you see why some think your apology is disingenuous?”
Rep. Trey Gowdy read Jonathan Gruber back several of his comments this morning and asked him what he meant by each of them. But for every single one of them Gruber claimed he was just being “glib” and trying to make himself look smarter in front of other people because he’s really that arrogant and cares that much about what people think of him.
At one point Gowdy asked Gruber “Can you see why some think your apology is disingenuous?”
Clearly Gruber was playing the ‘needy narcissist’ and Gowdy wasn’t going to let him get away with it.
Watch:
Cummings is either ignorant...an Obama Sycophant or deceptively political when he says the ACA has helped millions of people, and “YOU GRUBER, have given the anti ACA guys...the ammo they needed.” to paraphrase. Clearly, the ACA is a dangerous piece of legislation, put together buy people like Gruber.
Yes, it was touched on earlier and some how he squirmed saying that he was unaware of the law, and that ACA was not written to obscure it being a tax.
I don’t think anyone has really hit any home runs in five minutes with this fruit. Will they get another chance?
“Kerry Bentivolio now talking about the deception by Gruber, calls him a co-conspirator”
*******
Kerry Bentivolio says that it is a tax for refusing commerce - it is a breathing tax
We can’t breathe!
