The writings of Joseph Goebbels have probably some of the best arguments for exterminating the Jews. Your read them at your peril, and I certainly wouldn’t recommend them for high school students and now college students often lack the necessary mental durability. They are useful though for juxtaposing against arguments of someone like Peter Singer as he discussed the implementation of Obamacare.

Princeton bioethics professor Peter Singer recently presented in the New York Times Congressional intent without equivocation. “Rationing health care means getting value for the billions spent by setting limits on which treatments should be paid for from the public purse….There’s no doubt that it’s tough – politically, emotionally, and ethically - to make a decision that means that someone will die sooner than they would have if the decision had gone the other way….The task of health care bureaucrats is then to get the best value for resources they have been allocated….If a teenager can be expected to live another 70 years, saving that life gains 70 years, whereas a person of 85 can be expected to live another 5 years, then saving the 85-year-old will gain only 5 life-years. That suggests saving one teenager is equivalent to saving 14 85-year-olds”.

Notice Congress and the President are not mentioned.

Socialism leads to a government rationing society.
