New York Times columnist and Keynesian economist Paul Krugman’s prescription for the deficit: raise sales taxes and let old people “expire.”
Is Krugman volunteering to be the first to go? I thought not. Here’s the text of what he said:
This would make one heck of a campaign platform for President Obama in 2012.

Ah, yes. Let's let a panel of technocrats and bureaucrats decide what treatments "old people" can have--and while we're at it, raise taxes, too. Of course, conspicuously absent is any mention of controlling health care costs, including Medicare, by reforming the nature of the health care industry and correcting patients', doctors' and hospitals' use and abuse of care, while advocating even greater federal and state government intrusion into all of health care and how it is delivered. But that is par for the course for Krugman, the broken-record, big-government statist.

Krugman is nothing more or less than another self-styled elitist, but viscerally (not actively, because he's a coward) violent leftist, agitating for a new job as Chief Guard of the extermination and re-education camps that Il Duce Negro fervently wishes he could put in place. And he may still try to do so, which is why we ought to take resume postings like Krugman's seriously. I venture to say that most American Demoncrats in leadership positions (formal or informal) would love nothing more than to preside over the mass killings of the idiot rubes and rednecks in Red State America, who are slowing down the fulfillment of their utopian dreams.
If we'd just shut up and submit to the wisdom of our Ruling Class, there wouldn't be any problem, and maybe Chief Guard Krugman wouldn't have to kill as many of us. So it boils down to how many of us are willing to be socialist slaves and calmly accept the rule of the Krugmans of this country, rather than fight either electorally or violently (if and when that day comes) against them.

A simple google search comes up with endless "Death panels" lie with liberals blasting death panels as a lie.
"Maybe just take the pill" Obama
"PolitiFact lie of the year: "Death Panels""
"AP Fact Check: No Death Panel in Health Care Bill"
All these Marx liberals are death cultists. They worship and love death. Abortion, euthenasia, planned parenthood, eugenics, genocide, environmentalism...
How will Paul Krugman's statement be spun?
