Second time this year that your humble correspondent made it onto the august pages of the Wall Street Journal.

p.s. And I'm still wondering if Robert Reich will ever come up with an explanation for his own words. Oh, and he was NOT kidding.

[PJ-Comix]

I really get a kick out of seeing the name “DUmmie FUnnies” in the Wall Street Journal.

[Rummyfan]

In fact it came from the very liberal former Labor Secretary Robert Reich who is now an economics adviser for Barack Obama.

Robert Reich is an evil little dwarf.

Reich is obviously not an expert on health care. For instance, innovation in the pharmaceutical industry usually means merely creating a "me-too" drug in order to extend patent life. Very few drugs amount to any sort of true innovation with breakthroughs. This may be more true as regards devices and technology. However it is interesting that even though we have seen extensive innovation in these fields we still do not extend life much, nor alleviate pain and other morbidity symptomogy. The only things that really affect our health come down to wellness programs (eating healthy, exercising), sanitation (washing hands), vaccinations, and antibiotics. And this may strike some as harsh, but is it a good idea to shove money at a problem such as how do we extend life a few more months? Maybe as a society it is time to grow up.

Here is the first comment on the article. BTW - Congrats PJ.

IO don't have an account and won't sign up. Somebody respond to Jonathon. He questions innovations and technologies in the medical industry? Wow. Ironically, his comments suggests he has no problem of cutting back expenditures where the return on the money is not enough, ie - extending the life of old people.

I bet Jonathon is all for the cap and tax expenditures that will have little to no effect on the global temperature of the planet. I guess his motto would be, "Let old people die by not spending money on them but save the planet with a global ponzi scheme."

Excellent ! Congrats !

[Freedom2specul8]

Congratulations! This needs to be on the front page! The more people that read it the better. (Especially the comments on wsj)

[Freedom2specul8]

PJ made it to the Wall street Journal!

[Sunshine Sister]

Congratulations on being published in the WSJ.

What was as scary as the words Robert Reich was saying was the applause. Those kids were actually clapping about letting grandma die. I was stunned!

[Red Boots]

PJ- it’s been so fun to watch your expansion from DU Funnies to Newsbusters and now WSJ ! Gol ! Congrats! What a great story.

How is it fair to change the rules of the game in Medicare so late in the game ?

Seniors, and everybody else, have been forced to contribute, under the premise that their health care would be covered. Now that the pay up is coming due, they are told that they are no longer worthy of care.

That's bait and switch to the max. If any business tried that, they'd go to jail. I know the government doesn't have to play by the same rules, but that really sucks !

If this were a free country, these governemnt social programs would be voluntary. And nobody would join.

Good job.
