Something seems dishonest by the way the show is sold and the substance of the show. One thing ill point to directly, interviewing those ill informed voters , you made a mockery of their ability to know,or care who won the civil war. Yet they all could tell you the latest trendy news. Then you use this same trendy platform to sell the show, hashtag this and that. Tweet us, buy our gear,be mindless zombies. If your show was to actually wake anybody up youd never sell.

Not really what i was being critical of. The platform of sell; is the same ignorant platform being critized. No contradiction, really guy?

Dude, you got some real problems. I made a point instead you attack me and my sisters basement. I rather like my sisters basement. Im well acquainted with the real world. Once again it is prudent to not attack the platform for which you stand,
that can't get approached with "fixing" or "improving" in

Because the video goes where you might not expect.

Do I need to watch more than the 5 minutes that told me where Joe's at?
Looks like in the first 5 minutes Joe went into blaming Romney for Gruber's nutcase statements
5. You think Obamacare is bad bad bad. I can't argue with your feelings about it, but I have yet to see how what we had before was good good good.
The law has effects that extend well beyond the employment rate and the average length of the workweek. People, businesses and entire sectors will jockey to reduce their new tax burdens or enhance their subsidies. Their adjustments to the new incentives will make our economy less productive and stifle wage growth, even among workers who have no direct contact with the law's penalties and subsidies.
The "29er" phenomenon is a good example of how the law harms productivity. Because ACA's "employer mandate" requires firms with 50 or more full-time workers to offer health plans to employees who work more than 30 hours a week, many employers and employees have adopted 29-hour work schedules.
It’s that the law’s complex system of insurance regulation is a way of concealing from voters what Obamacare really is: a huge redistribution of wealth from the young and healthy to the old and unhealthy. In the video, Gruber points out that if Democrats had been honest about these facts, and that the law’s individual mandate is in effect a major tax hike, Obamacare would never have passed Congress.
Gruber said. “In terms of risk-rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in—you made explicit that healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed, okay. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage.

It seems to me that it should be the stupid voters that take the heat. After all it is these same stupid voters that got him elected in the first place.
Come on now they might as well face up to their stupidity!
