Nobel Prize winning “economist” Paul Krugman spoke at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in Washington, D.C. last week and offered a sinister solution to the economic reality facing our nation. During the question and answer session following the lecture, an audience member asked him about the rising national debt, and “death panels” was his answer.
Earlier in the evening, Krugman had already vocalized his satisfaction at President Obama’s 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:
Years of accumulating debt and expanding government programs only moves us down the “road to serfdom.” As Krugman crudely surmised, the consequence is government confiscation of wealth and government control over health care.
Rarely are Leftists so candid in articulating their hopes. “Death panels and sales taxes” is the mantra of those seizing power in the nation founded on the rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” What a difference two centuries makes.
