Obamacare architect discussed misleading public in 4th newly uncovered video
As Congress voted on the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, in 2010, one of the bill’s architects, MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, told a college audience that those pushing the legislation pitched it as a bill that would control spiraling health care costs even though most of the bill was focused on something else and there was no guarantee the bill would actually bend the cost curve.
In recent days, the past comments of Gruber – who in this 2010 speech notes that he “helped write the federal bill” and “was a paid consultant to the Obama administration to help develop the technical details as well” – have been given renewed attention. In previously posted but recently noticed speeches, Gruber discusses how those pushing the bill took part in an “exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter,” taking advantage of voters’ “stupidity” to create a law that would ultimately be good for them.

So quit with all this caterwauling about Elon Musk and DOGE, when unelected bureaucrats took over 1/6th of the American economy.

Thanks for sharing

There's an apt three-letter retort to Progs yammering about DOGE people being "unelected": EPA.
That is not original to me, but I do not remember where I saw it.

Democrats' actions and rhetoric always change if they're not in power. Now that Trump is in office, they claim to care about food prices and unelected people making decisions.

I don’t think they were expecting Trump to come back prepared for war on the first day. And they certainly aren’t prepared or expecting his full frontal assault on the status quo.
They are loosing their cookie jar and are on the verge of being exposed for who and what they are..
By the time Trump is done, the Democrats will be lucky if they can win an election for dog catcher

As it should be.
The word "Dim'Rat" is long overdue to become a hiss and byword in American vernacular for generations to come.

It is becoming abundantly clear, not just to we who are actively listening to politics, but also to average john and jane, that when dems/leftists/DUmmies say 'our democracy', what they really mean is 'our bureaucracy'.
-
Dems: Our tyranny.
-
It's also clear that when democrats say the law is being broken, they don't mean the law as it's written; they mean what the law would be if they ruled the world.

And once more "hypocrite" and "democrat" appears to be synonyms.
