Well...I was going to mention the things you said...but...I thought I might get attacked here....LOL. I go to the doc ONCE a year for a checkup and to renew my levo and bio-id compounded hormones (knock on wood)....I’ve got friends who are at the docs at least once a quarter....and I do what YOU mentioned....supplements, exercise, etc....(I’m 59)

“VAT and Death Panels for Politicians They are useless and have never served any purpose so lets get rid of them.”

Do you realize how many people will agree with that statement?

[Dr. Sivana]

A VAT is NOT a national sales tax, it is even worse. A sales tax takes place at the sale of the finished product, a VAT takes place at EVERY STAGE OF PRODUCTION...a great way to obliterate what manufacturing we have left.

Economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman says the only way the U.S. will get its debt crisis under control is by the use of "death panels" and a national sales tax.

I'm not in favor of killing off any group of people, but Krugman is correct, if all the progressives/liberals were killed off the nation would quickly recover from the debt crisis.

Here’s a death panel idea for you, Kruggie - how about all the freeloaders that have been living off other people’s wages for the last 45 years just drop dead. No more leeches, no more deficit. No additional taxes necessary.

Billy Ayers said that as many 25 million would have to be killed.

Fortunately, Ayers won't get to pick the 25 million. Hint - they'll more than likely be people that voted for "change".

[kilt1iron]

Uh ... Yes, We Are.

The new paradigm is activist conservative small business owners and supporters.

We Are Legion.

[PaleoBob]

you can betcha that the unions and the ruling class will be exempt....like they are now in most things...

Agreed. To an extent. They do eventually end up eating their own, though. It’s how Trotsky ended up with an ice pick in his head. One of Stalin’s “death panels” picked him out.

“Billy Ayers said that as many 25 million would have to be killed.”

That was when the population of the US was less than half of what it is today. I would imagine we’re talking 3 times that number with ‘inflation.’

I only wish I was being sarcastic.

But the “sarcastic” might be among the first targeted for extinction under Krugmancare.

This is not news: the Left,including Obama, has always endorsed death panels. Obama's protestations to the contrary, the panels WERE in the health care legislation until popular reaction KO'd them. Why have pro-death ghouls like Rahm Emmanuel's brother and the hard-eyed baby killer Sebelius on your health team if you don't buy into killing the inconvenient at the beginning and the end of life?

[Right Wing Puppy]

This guy is an A-hole of mega proportions. Nobel prize for economics? Figures!

[winner3000]

(Oh. That’s what Obama meant by “shovel-ready”?)

Thank you for that. I’m glad I wasn’t drinking anything when I read it. It was awesome!

[Gene Eric]

>> The liberal solution to every problem is higher taxes and death.

Ironic both are unavoidable.

[ChiMark]

So a few million have to be sacrificed to achieve utopia.

Isn’t it worth to kill off people so they can get good health care?

liberals have an obsession with death.

Former New York Times op-ed writer, economist and pundit, Paul Krugman, died today of complications from an infected ingrown toenail. Mr. Krugman, who was born in 1953, had just celebrated his 65th birthday.

Unfortunately, under the onerous provisions of the 2010 Universal Health Care Act, passed in the last year of the truncated Obama Administration, over half of the country’s physicians have abandoned the practice of medicine and care of patients. Most retired, cycled into pure research or found other occupations. Consequently, the increased wait times for patients to see a doctor for even the most serious conditions – in some cases up to 36 months – can run to 72 months for relatively minor health problems.

A family member – who wished to remain anonymous lest she be put on the “Do Not Treat List” at the Department of Death and Inhuman Services — declared that if his infection had been treated more promptly, Mr. Krugman, who was in otherwise good health, would have survived. Unfortunately, Mr. Krugman was over the cut-off age of 60 when the infection struck. Patients over 60 are listed on the “Non-Critical Condition List,” throwing them into the 72 month wait category.

Under the newly enacted Food Conservation and Recycling Act, his body was taken immediately to the Roosevelt Island Soylent Green processing facility.

I sort of have to give credit to Rush about the “shovel-ready” term, but sometimes I take credit for stuff Rush says.

[Lancey Howard]

Krugman is as much a Nazi/communist as Ubama and his fellow travelers.

[Kellis91789]

Just as Dims advocate higher taxes for everybody instead of simply donating their own money towards reducing the national debt, Dims advocate death panels for everybody instead of just committing suicide themselves. Silly buggers.
