New York Times Columnist Says Death Panels Needed to Fix Economy

 

When former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin warned about the potential for “death panels” under ObamaCare that would make life and death medical decisions for patients, she was scoffed at and dismissed as off base.

 

Now, an economist who is a columnist for the New York Times says death panels may be needed as a solution to fix the troubled economy.

 

Paul Krugman appeared on ABC’s “This Week with Christiane Amanpour” during a roundtable discussion about the economy and the recent conclusions from the U.S. Debt Reduction Commission.

 

Krugman said the death panels won’t come into play now but would down the road.

 

“Some years down the pike, we’re going to get the real solution, which is going to be a combination of death panels and sales taxes. It’s going to be that we’re actually going to take Medicare under control, and we’re going to have to get some additional revenue, probably from a VAT. But it’s not going to happen now,” he said.

 

 

Ethel Fenig also commented at the American Thinker blogabout the Krugman remarks.

 

“They laughed when Sarah Palin said Obamacare would require death panels to control medical costs. But for some reason no one laughs when New York times columnist Paul Krugman says the same thing. Maybe because he won–inexplicably–the Nobel Prize for Economics,” she writes.

How much do want to bet that Obambi is throwing lamps in the White House right now because Krugman let the cat out of the bag before the 2012 election?

It's evil when spoken by the unenlightened... and unspoken by the enlightened.

 

But when spoken by the enlightened...

... it takes on a meaning of truth and beauty that the "great unwashed" will never be able to understand.

Count me as part of the unenlightened then, I heard Sarah the first time.
