Robert Reich's cold honesty ("You're old, It's too expensive... so we're going to let you die.")
American Thinker ^ | 10/15/2009

Posted on 10/14/2009 10:43:50 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Robert Reich advocated in detail the cutting off of funds to elder patients and the lower funding of medical research, fully accepting that more people would die. Newsbusters quotes him:

"We're going to have to, if you're very old, we're not going to give you all that technology and all those drugs for the last couple of years of your life to keep you maybe going for another couple of months. It's too expensive...so we're going to let you die."

Reich just claims he is "being honest" and that he is. "Let them eat cake" is now joined by "Let you die."

He needs to commit suicide. Because if he does not, he is a complete liar and does not believe in his own words

According to Senator Rockefeller he would have been fine if his own mother had been allowed to just die during the last few months of her life.

I thought Dem’s said we were the party that said “Go die”.

These people.

Robert Reich is just amazing! He gets away with saying this stuff just like Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg got away with her “I thought abortion was supposed to get rid of the kind of people you don’t want too much of” comment.

Hey Reich; we, the old, ugly and too expensive paid your fricking bills for a long time. So get lost.

How old is Reich? Isn't he getting up there in years? Maybe he should off himself. I mean, come on - look at all the food he's consuming - food that could feed hungry kids in Africa!

Do the right thing, Robert! Kill yourself and save the children!!

Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin’ great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
`Round here

Short people are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It’s a wonderful world)

Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin’ peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They’re gonna get you every time
Well, I don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
‘Round here

Not to worry guys, there is only one media outlet that would report this, and they can’t be trusted: so says the WH spokesman. Do you think this will ever make it on the lapdog media?

“He needs to commit suicide. Because if he does not, he is a complete liar and does not believe in his own words”

This will not apply to Reich, as it will not apply to others who have held high public offices. If not already rich when they attain those offices, they become so as a direct result.

While they line their own pockets, they screw their “bosses’, the citizens.

This assclown is too short to drive a go-cart.
He wants to choose who lives or dies?

Locked and loaded. Locked and loaded.

Not Robert Reich. He's in fact WARNING about its consequences if Obamacare were signed into law.

Many seniors and baby boomers voted for Hussein.

Baby boomers will be meeting this fate in less than a decade.

Hope & Change. Illegal aliens are more important than American seniors.

There's a fine line between warning and highlighting. I'm guessing he sees it as a highlight.
