- He “never worked on our staff,” President Obama said this weekend. (Gruber was paid almost $400,000 by his administration, is the intellectual author of the individual mandate and met in the Oval Office with Obama and the CBO to pore over the bill). “I don’t know who he is,” Nancy Pelosi declared on Capitol Hill (even though she repeatedly cited him by name during the Obamacare debate). - Gruber says the Obama administration knew the individual mandate was a tax, but that if Americans knew the truth “the bill dies.” So it “was written in a tortured way to make sure [the Congressional Budget Office] did not score the mandate as taxes,” adding “the lack of transparency is a huge political advantage” and that “the stupidity of the American voter. . .was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”
