Death Panels Needed to Fix Economy

New York Times Columnist Says Death Panels Needed to Fix Economy

The economy is poison, no a disease... There is nothing about our economy killing our society and government that needs the blessing of a panel... If we don't get rid of it, it will destroy us... What is your prescription??? Add kool-aid???

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.

Krugman said if the debt commission “were going to do reality therapy, they should have said, ‘OK, look, Medicare is going to have to decide what it’s going to pay for. And at least for starters, it’s going to have to decide which medical procedures are not effective at all and should not be paid for at all.’”
