Don't forget Social Security. If you kill off the elderly, you don't have to keep paying those costs out of a shrinking tax base.

1945 + 65 years = Baby boomers start retiring in 2010. How are the Dems going to keep spending like rabid Marxists if an ever gowning portion of their annual budget is being ate up by COL adjustments to pay for Soc Security benefits?

Getting them to die off fixes both SS and Medicare.

Just another unintended consequence of everything from OSHA regs to seat belt laws to anti-smoking campaigns and 'sin' taxes.

Now that we obeyed a whole slug of pain-in-the-arse laws allegedly passed to protect us and have us live longer, the goobermint wants to kill us off.

I don't care about collecting any interest on the SSI I and my employers have paid in on my behalf. Just give me my money back.

It's because of the government's medicare Ponzi scheme that makes Bernie Madoff look like just a simple short-game grifter.

AND the democrat politicians get to keep their 50+ years of Social Security payments to buy more votes from the illegal aliens (for the coming amnesty bill).
Oboma didn't pick a Hispanic Supreme court judge for nothing, you know. He could have gone completely communist like he did his Czars, but didn't.

The democrats need to trade the outgoing baby boomer vote for the illegal vote, otherwise, their base will dwindle to almost nothing a decade or so from now.

Power and privilege. To the democrats, it's ALWAYS about voting blocks. Always!

You have certainly got it right. It has nothing to do with healthcare at all, its just so the elitists will still have a source of money to steal and keep them in power. I wonder if anyone really thinks Ogabe cares on way or the other what happens to them. He’d as soon have you “put to sleep “ as look at you.

It sounds as though ObamaCare's number one goal is to create some kind of weird, perverted "super race". That has a familiar ring to it.

Wouldn't killing off the "burdens to society" (the elderly and disabled) be cruel and unusual punishment? I thought that was unconstitutional.

DO NOT FORGET THE DEATH TAX ON ESTATES. Property will have to be sold to settle debts and taxes will be levied on those sales. This is a win-win-win-win for the government.

There has been alot of discussion for years about the pending crisis with Soc. Security/Medicare as the baby boomers retire. Obamacare has come up with a solution-—the final solution.

As a boomer I must say there is a certain irony that the socialist / communist government the majority of the boomers consistently voted for is the type of that kills them when they are most defenseless. How’s that Hopey Change working out for you AARP members?

Well, you’re also dealing with the culture of death here. They just like to see people die, from the unborn, to the partial born, to the infirm and the elderly. Very simple. There’s really no “why” to it, they just like control and death.

Someone convince me otherwise.

They are a drain on Society, and those resources can be best used on those who can make a Contribution to the PARTY...errr ... Society.

So said the Propaganda films produced for ADOLF HITLER, as part of the “Existence without Life” films. I guess they were used as a test run for the “Final Solution”.

Today the OLD and the ABORTED.. then the final Solution.. Camps for Conservatives.

(NO, I’m not laughing...no sarc tag)

This video proves that liberalism is a mental disease. Watch this dem congresscritter tell a child that is worried about healthcare for our vets that our soldiers are killing themselves. It’s unbelievable!

In a socialist society, when the money starts to run out, someone is chosen to die. Most dictators just pick a group and shoot them because it's quicker.
Oboma and the democrats are choosing the "Terry Schiavo method" instead.

If we make it to 2017, the bankruptcy of the United States will be complete.

In 2017, the United States of America will officially be a third world nation.
