GOP goes after $2M federal Gruber grant

The Hill reports:
Republicans are asking the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to defend a multimillion dollar grant given to ObamaCare consultant Jonathan Gruber in light of his controversial comments on the law's passage.

"Recent developments related to Dr. Gruber raise questions about his objectivity and judgment, and thus the utility of his research," Reps. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.) and Andy Harris (R-Md.) wrote in a letter to NIH Director Francis Collins Wednesday.

"Further, the award of this grant causes major concerns regarding NIH's funding priorities," they wrote.
Big government sure has been lucrative to con man John Gruber.
