Nexus between "duty to die" and significantly increasing the death tax????
No need to put the tinfoil on. Plainly obvious that the Democrats are looking for an easy out in our coming Entitlement bankruptcy.
In 2017 we will have more users of, then payers into, Social Security. IF something is not done an ever larger portion of the Federal budget will be consumed by Soc Security Cost of Living adjustments.
Hard to keep buying elections year after year, as the Democrats do, if more and more of the annual budget is being gobbled up by mandatory Entitlement spending.
So in order to keep spending like rabid Marxists, the Democrat leadership has to find a way to cut way back on the portion of the Fed budget being gobbled up by their existing spending promises. So it is entirely logical to assume that the Death Panels in the Health Care bill are an attempt by the Democrat Leadership to get rid of those inconvenient old people they promised 75 years ago to take care of for ever and ever and ever
When you think about Axelrod's strategy of spending it all before we ever get another chance, it's pretty slick. Knowing that we are responsible and will do everything in our power to handle the debt they have left so our kids and theirs are not hopelessly saddled with a bankrupt country, they can actually spend everything and anything that will be spent by govt. for the next 20 years and get away with it with it using a compliant DBM.
Hopefully we can will expose what they are doing,Coburn fired a great volley over the bow(of their now leaky ship) today.
