quote:
That bastion of conservative economists, Paul Krugman: During the heated healthcare debate, supporters of the Obama plan vigorously denied that rationing for seniors would take place and scoffed at "death panel" critics such as Palin. Now, i knew you would overlook what else that bastion called krugman would have to say in the same interview as what you are spewing in your OP. But im going to shove it back into your face. IF he is so right about this... then.... KRUGMAN: Can I just get into magnitudes here, though? The cost of permanently extending just the upper-end Bush tax cuts, as opposed to only extending the middle-class tax cuts, the 75-year cost of that is just about identical to the 75-year accounting shortfall in Social Security. So we've got people who are saying, oh, Social Security, got to do something about it, but let's extend those tax cuts for rich people. This is showing how the priorities are all skewed (ph). He is JUST as right about this and showing what an unbelievably stupid crowd the Republicans are.
