Gruber was right---We are stupid!

Jonathan Gruber, an MIT economics professor, was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to help write the ACA (Obama Care). At the time he was praised by both the President and Nancy Pelosi. In speeches, a couple of years later, he said that in order to get that bill passed, the American people had to be lied to or they would not go for it.  He stated that it would succeed because the American people were stupid. We were lied to by the President over and over again. "You can keep your plan and your doctor. Costs will go down." None of that was true. After Gruber and his statements were made public, Both the President and Pelosi claimed they didn't know who Gruber was.  More lies! Gruber was right about the stupidity. In 2012 the American people re-elected Obama and many of his cast of characters. However, in November 2014 there were a lot fewer stupid Americans and, in the election smarter Americans took control of both the Senate and House. A large amount of stupidity still exists. New York State, California and almost all of New England lead in that category. Gruber was right and MIT sits in the middle of that territory
