Krugman's New Take on Death Panels

Paul Krugman has steadfastedly opposed Sarah Palin's "death panel" statements, calling her a liar and mocking her for suggesting the Obama Care bill sets up what are essentially death panel committees to determine if a patient is worth the treatment he or she needs.

But that was before the bill was passed.  Now that it has been passed, Krugman apparently has "learned what is in it," as Pelosi said we would.  Now that it has been passed, Krugman seems to think it is okay to reveal the truth even if the truth verifies Sarah's assessment.

Krugman, who denied the death panel provision with vigor several times before the passage of the bill, now says death panels and a VAT tax are the only way to deal with the runaway spending of this administration.  He made no mention of reducing the spending as a more intelligent and humane method of dealing with the issue.

What does that mean?  If you aren't healthy enough to earn tons of money to spend on VAT-tax inflated prices of necessities, you will be encouraged to die without your needed medical treatment?  Yep.  Obama Care doesn't want to provide health insurance for the elderly or infirm (unless perhaps you are also an illegal resident of this country).

Now they are not only eager to spend other people's money, but also want to spend other people's lives?

Toto, we aren't in America anymore - in America we respect life.

OofDah!  Goodby Gandma, goodbye Gramps, you aren't worth medical treatment.
