Gruber was correct... and who was he calling stupid?
so when Gruber speaks of stupid voters and stupid leaders is he talking about democrat voters and chuck schumer or republican voters who knew he and Obama were lying?

Today, new video surfaced in which Gruber said that “the stupidity of the American voter” made it important for him and Democrats to hide Obamacare’s true costs from the public. “That was really, really critical for the thing to pass,” said Gruber. “But I’d rather have this law than not.” In other words, the ends—imposing Obamacare upon the public—justified the means.
The new Gruber comments come from a
panel discussion that he joined on October 17, 2013 at the University of Pennsylvania’s Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics. He was joined on the panel by Penn health economist Mark Pauly. Patrick Howley of the
Daily Caller was the first journalist to flag Gruber’s remarks, which were unearthed by Rich Weinstein.
In fairness to Gruber, American voters are not the only people whose intelligence he questions;
elsewhere in the discussion, he describes New York Sen. Chuck Schumer (D.) as someone who "as far as I can tell, doesn't understand economics" and calls a staffer for Sen. Olympia Snowe (R., Maine)—presumably
William Pewen—an "idiot."
