Everyday is Christmas for these politicians.
The foreign occupier and his horde are a menace to our nation and damn near everyone living here.
He and his Rats are shovel-ready for the dust bin of history.

Health Reform: The left's favorite economist, who condemned others for saying ObamaCare would require death panels, now admits they are real and necessary. The way to control costs, he says, is death and taxes.
Paul Krugman has long extolled the virtues of Britain's National Health Service and its National Institute for Clinical Excellence with the Orwellian acronym of NICE. Krugman has been anything but nice to NHS critics and those who've said that what have been called its "death panels" would be brought to America via ObamaCare.
In a roundtable discussion on ABC's "This Week," the New York Times columnist said of what recently came out of the president's deficit commission: "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.
"Medicare is going to have to decide what it's going to pay for," Krugman said. "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. In other words, (the deficit commission) should have endorsed the panel that was part of the health care reform."
Krugman went right to his blog Sunday afternoon to "clarify" his comments. He explained, and we are willing to accept, that he was being derisive of the term and sarcastic. "I said something deliberately provocative on This Week," Krugman wrote, "so I think I'd better clarify what I meant," which is something he regularly denies to others.

Reality is anyone with a clue knows it's a lie and they know the truth. They just go along with the lie because those that know better but are sometimes on board with socialism for ideological reasons based on equality. They are willing to except unfair practices, inefficiency, etc because deep down inside they have a secular, centralist view of the world where some idea of “equality” is paramount.

New York City
Former New York Times op-ed writer, economist and pundit, Paul Krugman, died today of complications from an infected ingrown toenail. Mr. Krugman, who was born in 1953, had just celebrated his 65th birthday.
Unfortunately, under the onerous provisions of the 2010 Universal Health Care Act, passed in the last year of the truncated Obama Administration, over half of the country’s physicians have abandoned the practice of medicine and care of patients. Most retired, cycled into pure research or found other occupations. Consequently, the increased wait times for patients to see a doctor for even the most serious conditions – in some cases up to 36 months – can run to 72 months for relatively minor health problems.
A family member – who wished to remain anonymous lest she be put on the “Do Not Treat List” at the Department of Death and Inhuman Services — declared that if his infection had been treated more promptly, Mr. Krugman, who was in otherwise good health, would have survived. Unfortunately, Mr. Krugman was over the cut-off age of 60 when the infection struck. Patients over 60 are listed on the “Non-Critical Condition List,” throwing them into the 72 month wait category.
Under the newly enacted Food Conservation and Recycling Act, his body was taken immediately to the Roosevelt Island Soylent Green processing facility.

His wife smacked him upside the head, took him by the ear and flung him into the chair to blog when he got home.
Those who truly understand socialism and are still on board with it are secretly convinced deep down that they are smart enough, savvy enough, connected enough to game the system to their own benefit.
Thats just pricelesss..still laughing....OMG..LOL...post of the day!!!
“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... Medicare is going to have to decide what it’s going to pay for...”
Everyone is in a tizzy because he admitted there are death panels, but the thing that I found so striking about this comment is even more fundamental. The libs have been telling us for decades that there is no problem. Medicare and social security are perfectly sound, and debt is good. So why do we need either death panels or taxes?
Of course he does...Progressives, socialists, commies all ultimately choose death for their slaves...
If your 70 years old and you need a kidney transplant you are not going to get it because you will only live a couple of years longer.
You are a 2 year old and you need a kidney transplant you are not going to get it because even if you live another 40 years you will need expensive drugs to prevent rejection. High cost with no way of telling if the returns from your productivity will be worth the expense.
Everything will be reduced to cost benefit analysis.
Eventually health care in this country will be reduce to exactly what the Left argued that health care in this country already was: only the well off get quality health care.
Under the Obama system only the truly wealthy will be able to get quality health care because only they will be able to afford to pay for it totally out of pocket to get the best possible care. Or they will be able to travel to where they can get the care that they want.
Classic! Great job!!!
Then why doesn't he move to Britain? They with the perfect health care system and all.
Krugman is an arrogant, ingorant @$$h0!e with dentures.
This problem is not new. We have finite resources and no matter how hard you try, you can’t get around that fact. NO ONE should be able to force someone else to foot the bill for their health care forever. SOMEBODY has to make hard choices. Everyone bitches and wrings their hands at “death panels” but the reality is that there are some people who WILL NOT make the hard choice to let mama or grandma or grandpa die and will instead insist that everything that can be done MUST be done. But of course, it’s not their money they are spending.
My wife had to make one when her mother got very sick. She could have done a few more things that would have extended her life by perhaps a few weeks, but she chose to allow her mother to pass away quietly instead. So is my wife a cruel, heartless person?
Everyday is Christmas for these politicians.

Didn’t the Left deny this?
