Video of NYT's Paul Krugman: "Death Panels" Needed to Help Balance Budget (Plus The VAT)

Keep in mind that this is the same guy that denied in the New York Time that there were death panels in the ObamaCare bill after Sarah Palin popularized the term. Via BreitbartTV:
A couple of years ago, Obama adviser Robert Reich said this: Video: Obama Advisor Robert Reich To Elderly "We're Going To Let You Die!"
Liberals want you to die if some bureaucrat determines that you are too expensive to treat. By definition a death panel. Democrat Gary McDowell, who lost to Dan Benishek (R) for the seat of disgraced Judas turncoat Bart Stupak in Michigan's 1st Congressional district, admitted to a crowd of supporters that people near the end of their will get kicked down the stairs to save on cost:
I have said many times in this blog that the hardest hit by ObamaCare will end up being seniors. All government run plans have one end result - rationing. And what is rationed is that which is most expensive. And those that bear the brunt of the rationing are those that need those expensive procedures but who aren't expected to be paying much in the way of taxes - the elderly. From the bureaucrat's point of view, why care for the elderly that 1) don't pay taxes and 2) aren't going to live much longer anyway? That's liberal compassion, the same that a fetus gets at Planned Parenthood. This is the essence of comparative effectiveness that is at the heart of ObamaCare. Comparative effectiveness, as per Obama's rationing czar 'Dr.' Ezekiel Emanuel, takes only 2 things into consideration when denying or approving treatment: 1) age, 2) cost. Simple as that. It yields this ghoulish chart:This chart would be page 1 of the "how to" guide of any death panel. Old people are too expensive to be worth keeping alive because they've already paid their taxes and are thus essentially useless to a totalitarian state. The very young too are of little value since they won't be paying taxes for a while yet. The people that should be treated are healthy people that pay taxes, but don't really need it because, well - they're mostly healthy. Welcome to ObamaCare, where people that don't need treatment get it, and those that need it don't.
We're the kings of the world! Hey, is that an iceb...?
