Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman spoke at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in Washington, D.C. last week. During the Q&A session following the lecture, an audience member asked him about the rising national debt.
Earlier in the evening, Krugman had already vocalized his satisfaction at President Obamas apparent lack of concern over the exploding cumulative deficit. However, in a moment of brutal honesty, the esteemed Princeton professor revealed his long term prognosis. According to the professor:
Eventually we do have a problem. That the population is getting older, health care costs are rising
there is this question of how were going to pay for the programs. The year 2025, the year 2030, something is going to have to give
.
. Were going to need more revenue
Surely it will require some sort of middle class taxes as well.. We wont be able to pay for the kind of government the society will want without some increase in taxes
on the middle class, maybe a value added tax
And were also going to have to make decisions about health care, doc pay for health care that has no demonstrated medical benefits . So the snarky version
which I shouldnt even say because it will get me in trouble is death panels and sales taxes is how we do this.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Oslama is cooking up ideas for punishing states that have no state income tax. Withhold fed. funds...etc.
Advocating death panels in a synagogue? That is rich in too many ways!
I just hope someone had the backbone to interrupt that Dathan with NEVER AGAIN!
How did this guy get a Nobel Prize? He should be selling used cars.
I think that, in the back of our minds, we all know its coming; its just a matter of how soon. Probably under Hilary.
He won the econ nobel much the same way the kenyan got his for doing nothing. He’s a socialist and socialists make sure they reward their undeserving socialist friends.
Maybe he should try out a death panel himself.
Seems he is no longer a positive contributing member of society.
Funny, how people who should know better, voted 70+% for this obomination who just might bring back the showers.
Krugman, 0boober & Arafat = Proof that the Nobel Prize is a sham.
Krugman, 0boober & Arafat = Proof that the Nobel Prize is a sham.
Let Krugman be the first to march willingly into the gas chamber, to be refused care that would save his life.
Before too long, even young people who have recurring heart problems, cancer, etc, will be sent down the path of pallative non-care much like Britain. What can now prolong life for even serious illness will only be given in the future to the rich and politician classes who have exempted themselves from the obamination.
They are all National Socialist Democrats after the German model.
FUBO & FAD
Frankly I am glad you commies are telling us exactly what you're planning.
This mouth foaming Lib wants to be a false god and determine who lives and who dies, and who pays to keep Planned Parenthood open and keep the gov goodies rollin’ in to the unearned.
How long oh Lord! Must we watch the wicked prosper?
Either the government serves us or we serve it. Krugman thinks government is our master, and that our rights derive from its power to serve human need, and that the need of anyone is an unquestionable claim on the ability and effort of everyone else.
What if I refuse to produce, even though I can? What then? Do you force me? Do you steal from me? And if I refuse to be forced or robbed? Do you kill me?
Don't kid yourselves. That's where we are headed. Unless we stop this insanity - now.
we need death panels to get rid of people like Krugman.
Go ahead Krugman et. al. Appoint a death pannel. There are those who will bring death to their door.
I agree with Krugman that seniors are not entitled to unlimited health care at my expense.
You 1st Krugman. Give all you have to your god...the government, then let them kill you.
And please, make sure it all happens on live tv, and streaming video, for those who do not have cable.
I'm sure doing all the above will incite so many of us to do what you did.
Become a martyr Krugman...for your own peeps and for America, she needs YOU......pleeeeease?
Ah, yes, I remember the outrage and mockery with which Sarah Palin’s coinage of the term “Death Panels” was met like it was only yesterday. Well, actually, it was only yesterday. It isn’t as if the media have no memory, because they do. What they also have is the brass to pretend it never happened.
So am I. And those pseudo-Americans who are trying to establish themselves as some sort of leftist nobility or ruling class over all the rest of us are going to be stunned at the response to their plans.
Will we see him at the front of the line for the death panels or will those be for the little people? Much like UT Austin prof Pianka teaches 90% of humans need to be exterminated with ebola.
But if you got run over by a car, you’d be entitled to unlimited healthcare at their expense...
Sorry guy. I don’t know how old you are, but “seniors” have been paying for you for a long, long time.
We’re all in this together. Obama is trying to oppose the old and the young (an increasingly tiny crowd, since the thirty-and-forty somethings appear to have neglected to bother to have children, unlike their now senior parents, who actually did have and pay for and raise children, one of which is probably ungrateful you).
So go off and get on your own ice floe when the time comes, you spoiled brat.
Woohoo, I made the sidebar!
Only took me 7 weeks :)
The Nobel Prize committee has been a joke for decades.
How much is the American people going to take of all this crap going on!?
An American in Newtown stated it best, from the newtown bee:
snip: You in public office are fundamentally dishonest people. You lead lives of deception at every turn, structuring your lives as comfortably as you can while governing with an indifference and arrogance that is absolutely maddening. When the country is reeling from financial disaster, you waste a trillion dollars on a health care bill we can’t afford and you’ve never read. You claim it’s critical because health care costs are killing this country... no they’re not, you are! You are killing this country. You endorse the ongoing slaughter of millions of unborn children and whine when terrorists are water boarded. You can’t lecture us right in Newtown High School about not doing enough to keep our children safe, while simultaneously slaughtering the unborn. You fabricate the intense, media laden drama of the fiscal cliff and lack the courage to do anything about truly reforming the obscene gluttony of government. You know you’ll be out of office before the bill comes due
you don’t care and have no integrity nor honor.
You lie whenever and wherever you need to to move forth your agenda.
Well, at least Krugman can be given a few brownie points for his (brutal!) honesty...
Krugman can be first in line for the death choice then. See how he likes it then!
You would think a Jewish person would be the last one to suggest such a thing is an option!
Let’s remember that. The demands for a national sales tax are from radical socialists.

Not entirely on topic, but Krugman is channeling Japans Deputy PM Taro Aso 'Sorry' for Saying Old People Should 'Hurry up and Die' in a Synagogue. He should never be invited back for his insult to life. Wonder if he'll apologive like Taro Aso. Doubt it, it's a core belief amongst many liberals. There must be a cabinet position for Krugman somewhare.

The worship at the alter of Death along with Satan.
I am against death panels but I might consider indorsing death squads for liberals, an the issuing of a extermination order.
Does the Death Panel apply to AIDS (preventable) or just old age (not preventable)?
You first Mr. Krugman
I’ll loan him the gun if he wishes to do the right thing and be the first to volunteer to save the planet and shoot himself. These idiots are simple stupid. I saw a shot on TV earlier of the greens marching and they had a sign that said “save the planet, kill yourself.” I was wondering why they did not simply do that and not put up a sign. Be the FIRST to volunteer. Set an example. Like the Muzzie suicide bomber trainers. Instead of training up kids to do it, man up and be the first to do it. Lead by example.
The 6th Street Synagogue has been in the hands of the wacky and marxist left for decades and nobody gives a damn. It is actually a shual for the left, not sincere believing Jews, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Some honest and proud Jews do go there, including some of my friends (because they live near it), but the shual functions as a propaganda center for Jewish liberals in DC.
Once they had Victor Navasky (the Nation, “Naming Names” and mentor of present day editor Katrina Van Den Huevel, a red) speak. He wouldn’t take any questions about his pro-communist writings.
Another exhibit praised the Rosenbergs, executed Soviet spies, and I believe there was an exhibit about Soviet operative (and friend of Frank Marshall Davis) Paul Robeson.
Also leftwing plays are performed there.
While the old Communist Party of DC has basically died out (one of its leaders is now a professor of Black History etc at Georgetown University), the new “liberal chic” marxists and Obamites control the synagogue.
This shual is a prime example of how the Leftists have penetrated traditionally conservative Jewish institutions and spread their disinformation and propaganda among the great Jewish uneducated. Just because you have a college degree doesn’t mean that you have common sense and know something relevant.
Krugman is a marxist but he sounds more like a bearded Dr. Menegele (lately of Auschwitz and Brazil). That is why he is teaching at Princeton, a once great university that hired marxists left and right (correction, left and left).
One day Krugman will be old, and I hope a death panel tells him, so long sucker.
I’d prefer that he die tomorrow and save us some carbon footprints.
“Krugman: U.S. Needs Death Panels, Sales Taxes”
I’m starting to lean toward right-wing death squads myself. How about we let that left-wing commie freak assemble his death panels and we muster right-wing death platoons and we meet on the NY plains and have a battle.
I’d bet my house that the Nazi freak Krugman crawls away like a worm at the first shot.
Just google “Liverpool pathway controversy” to see how death panels are working in the UK national health system
These people have no conscience and no remorse.
Step right up, don't be bashful Paul. You first.
Um, Don’t we already have them?
Sarah told’ya so!
It’s not as hard as you think.
Voltaire said, “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Seems the crowd is primed for group think. The Dems ‘two minutes of hate’ towards those who do not believe as they do just needs a match.
Congrats! Now it’s 50 shades of Terri Schiavo for the rest of us useless eaters.

Try again, or haven’t you yet comprehended the total insanity of giving away the control of your healthcare decisions to some government bureaucrat? Could you quote me the part of the Constitution that allows this? So I guess you are arguing that somehow the insurance industry acts in the same fashion, but I would remind you that in a free market you choose your plan that fits your lifestyle and your needs. I guess if you really wanted to make an arguement you would be able to explain how Obamacare reduces the cost of medicine, it simply doesn’t all it does is grant power to the government to control you, but of course you Libs can’t digest that because you believe that is the role of centralized government planners, yes indeed that is apparently the change that Obama speaks so much about.... You see ultimately, EBT, Foodstamps, WIC, Obamacare, Obamaloan, Obamaphone, Obamahome those are the things that create the dependency, which will ensure slavery to our posterity. Wouldn’t it have been so terribly sad if the generation before ours felt that they could pass their burden of debt down to the future generation? Of course the debt in their day was the rise of a Madman that would have controlled the entire planet with his (Reich, which of course is no less significant to our survival as a country than the coming 20-30 trillion dollar debt bubble that will destroy America as it was founded and create the coming New World Order. Thanks for listening I hope you learned something, but I doubt you did.
