Krugman, Death Panels, And The Disabled February 16, 2013 By Anthony 'AC' Castellitto

“We’re going to need more revenue…it will require some sort of middle class taxes as well…And we’re also going to…have to make decisions about health care, not pay for health care that has no demonstrated medical benefits…death panels and sales taxes is how we do this.” -Paul Krugman

Krugman averred we “won’t be able to pay for the kind of government the society will want without some increase in taxes,” possibly including a value-added tax, and “decisions about health care,” which is a nice way of saying rationing.

Krugman concluded: “So the snarky version … which I shouldn’t even say because it will get me in trouble is death panels and sales taxes is how we do this.”

Why are we hearing this from a marxist like Krugman but not the GOP? It is simple. There are just not enough “rich” to pay for the all the goodies. The economy isn’t growing under the Obama Plan. It’s isn’t going to get any better in the Age of Obama.

The problem is 80% of dim voters don’t want to hear that. It needs to be pounded into their thick skulls until they get it. That is where the GOP fails. Too much work I guess.

But, but, there's no such thing as death panels! /sarc

Moreover, this jackass is skipping the obvious, that Palin et al were derided for pointing this out ... how many years ago?

This goes to the heart of their playbook: plot, leak, deny indignantly ("Why we would never _____________[fill in the blank: confiscate weapons etc]"); marginalize any who dare to question; mention obliquely; obfuscate and backtrack; then -- when the coast seems clear -- act all "Well, sure, this makes total sense, look at all the reasons we should, of course we're gonna _________, why wouldn't we?"

Did I leave anything out?

I doubt if our Country will survive this.

The GOP is useless.

***

What Krugman and the rest of them don’t understand is that “society” wants a lot LESS government. If we had less government, we wouldn’t need the taxes we have now.

Yeah,Palin had it right from the beginning, but it was easier to smear her then for the libs to admit their evil deeds. (Can’t identify to close with their idol, Hitler)

I grew up reading about the holocaust and now that I’m an adult and disabled, this scares the bejeebers out of me.
