Talk:Jonathan Gruber (economist)

message: I have found several online articles written by Mr. Gruber, but a cursory search does not turn up much in the way of third-party notability resources about him, other than his MIT information pages and this Wikipedia article. Is being an employee of a university notability by itself? I will dig a little deeper. -- KingNewbs (talk) 16:37, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added a couple footnotes and cited them in the text. -- KingNewbs (talk) 16:47, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: MIT is not just a university, it is one of the top universities in the World. Gruber is a well-known health economist. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 04:16, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree with you about MIT being automatic evidence for notability, but in this case I think external evidence for notability is certainly present. I was definitely hasty in my initial edit, and it has been very educational to see the reaction -- I've learned a lot about what to look for and how to tag established articles. Thanks. -- KingNewbs (talk) 21:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The Biography section here is effectively useless.  Someone must know Gruber's real background including upbringing, religious and political affiliations from adolescence on up.  The curious who read about Gruber wish to understand how this generically gifted individual has drawn the conclusions that he has?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.160.34 (talk) 22:19, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

message: The last sense in the Controversy Section doesn't track well.  Perhaps the author could recast it for greater clarity.  There seems to be a time-line confusion.

thread_title:  Controversy Section 

message: "You have already drawn some of the brightest minds from academia and policy circles, many of them I have stolen ideas from liberally, people ranging from Robert Gordon to Austan Goolsbee; Jon Gruber; my dear friend, Jim Wallis here, who can inform what are sometimes dry policy debates with a prophetic voice"

thread_title:  President Obama's high praise for Jonathan Gruber 

message: For deceiving the American people, Gruber appears to have earned around 5 million dollars.  With these four states:
Michigan: $481,050
Minnesota: $329,000
Vermont: $400,000
Wisconsin: $400,000
We have confirmation of nearly 1.5 million dollars.  In addition, he was hired by eight additional states:  Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin.  The specific amounts paid in these is unknown, but according to the Washington Post:
"it’s safe to say that about $400,000 appears to be the standard rate for gaining access to the Gruber Microsimulation Model."
