Krugman: U.S. Needs Death Panels, Sales Taxes
Breitbart ^ | Joel Griffith

Posted on 02/05/2013 1:47:44 PM PST by JohnPDuncan

Nobel Prize winning “economist” Paul Krugman spoke at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in Washington, D.C. last week. During the Q&A session following the lecture, an audience member asked him about the rising national debt.

Earlier in the evening, Krugman had already vocalized his satisfaction at President Obama’s apparent lack of concern over the exploding cumulative deficit. However, in a moment of brutal honesty, the esteemed Princeton professor revealed his long term prognosis. According to the professor:

Eventually we do have a problem. That the population is getting older, health care costs are rising…there is this question of how we’re going to pay for the programs. The year 2025, the year 2030, something is going to have to give…. …. We’re going to need more revenue…Surely it will require some sort of middle class taxes as well.. We won’t be able to pay for the kind of government the society will want without some increase in taxes… on the middle class, maybe a value added tax…And we’re also going to have to make decisions about health care, doc pay for health care that has no demonstrated medical benefits . 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.

Advocating death panels in a synagogue? That is rich in too many ways!
I just hope someone had the backbone to interrupt that Dathan with NEVER AGAIN!

I think that, in the back of our minds, we all know its coming; its just a matter of how soon. Probably under Hilary.

He won the econ nobel much the same way the kenyan got his for doing nothing. He’s a socialist and socialists make sure they reward their undeserving socialist friends.

Maybe he should try out a death panel himself.

Seems he is no longer a positive contributing member of society.

Funny, how people who should know better, voted 70+% for this obomination who just might bring back the showers.

Krugman, 0boober & Arafat = Proof that the Nobel Prize is a sham.

Let Krugman be the first to march willingly into the gas chamber, to be refused care that would save his life.

Before too long, even young people who have recurring heart problems, cancer, etc, will be sent down the path of pallative non-care much like Britain. What can now prolong life for even serious illness will only be given in the future to the rich and politician classes who have exempted themselves from the obamination.

They are all National Socialist Democrats after the German model.

FUBO & FAD

This mouth foaming Lib wants to be a false god and determine who lives and who dies, and who pays to keep Planned Parenthood open and keep the gov goodies rollin’ in to the unearned.

How long oh Lord! Must we watch the wicked prosper?

Irreconcilable differences exist in America, again.

Either the government serves us or we serve it. Krugman thinks government is our master, and that our rights derive from its power to serve human need, and that the need of anyone is an unquestionable claim on the ability and effort of everyone else.

What if I refuse to produce, even though I can? What then? Do you force me? Do you steal from me? And if I refuse to be forced or robbed? Do you kill me?

Don't kid yourselves. That's where we are headed. Unless we stop this insanity - now.

I agree with Krugman that seniors are not entitled to unlimited health care at my expense.

"Krugman: U.S. Needs Death Panels, Sales Taxes"

You 1st Krugman. Give all you have to your god...the government, then let them kill you.

And please, make sure it all happens on live tv, and streaming video, for those who do not have cable.

I'm sure doing all the above will incite so many of us to do what you did.

Become a martyr Krugman...for your own peeps and for America, she needs YOU......pleeeeease?
