‘Lying Worm’: Beck’s Reaction To Krugman’s ‘Death Panel’ Remarks

Feb. 22, 2013 7:12pm Becket Adams

Screen grab

John Maynard Keynes fanboy Paul Krugman caused a little stir earlier this year after he half-jokingly suggested that the best way to address the rising national debt would be through tax increases on the middle class and – wait for it – “death panels.”

“Eventually we do have a problem. That the population is getting older, health care costs are rising,” Krugman said during his lecture at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in Washington, D.C. “There is this question of how we’re going to pay for the programs.”

“The year 2025, the year 2030, something is going to have to give,” he added. “We’re going to need more revenue … Surely it will require some sort of middle class taxes as well.”

“We won’t be able to pay for the kind of government the society will want without some increase in taxes … on the middle class, maybe a value added tax.”

“And we’re also going to have to make decisions about health care, doc pay for health care that has no demonstrated medical benefits. So the snarky version, which I shouldn’t even say because it will get me in trouble, is death panels and sales taxes is how we do this.”

Perhaps most infuriating about Krugman’s admission is the fact that, as a faithful advocate of “Obamacare,” he regularly mocked and maligned those who warned that a government-run insurance program would lead to higher taxes and spending panels.

Now here he is, a Nobel Prize winner, admitting, yeah, it’ll lead to the things conservatives warned us about.

If you think this is pretty outrageous, you’re not alone. Glenn Beck certainly had something to say about it.

“Paul Krugman is one lying worm,” Beck said Friday. “He’s one of the biggest economists out there — everyone has to listen to Paul Krugman. He is a guy who is an amazing liar and you cannot be as smart as Paul Krugman and not know it. You cannot be this wrong.”

“Ladies and gentlemen,” he continued, “They have lied to you. They have known they have lied to you. They are still lying to you.”

“They know now, at this point, that they can say anything and it will not get them in trouble,” he added.

  Nancy Pelosi and all those in Congress that denied death panels should be brought up on charges. Since when has it become acceptable for Congress to lie to the American people? Did Obama deny the reality of death panels? Prosecute him if he did. I am sick and tired of being lied to about almost everything that happens in this administration. Who the heck has the courage to start filing charges? Congress? Hillary Clinton lied when she testified about Benghazi. Where are charges against her???

  What’s the deal with the baseball cap? Trying to appeal to the common man I guess.
  
  There are death panels alright. They’re called insurance companies. When I hear stuff like this I’m both amused and appalled, and I wonder if any of you have ever dealt with an insurance company. They decides what medical treatment they will cover and what they will not. Your insurance company is smack dab between you and your doctor, and your insurance company is calling the shots as far as what treatment you can receive and what treatment they won’t pay for. Anybody who has dealt with an insurance company knows that.
  
  The amazing thing to me is that people love the idea of insurance companies deciding who they will cover and who they will not, what medical treatment they will cover and what they will not (death panel), how much they will pay for any given condition – such as cancer, and after you exceed the limit tough sh–, and they make all those decisions based on one criteria: what death panel decision makes them the most money. And, with their death panels, they are making money hand over fist at the expense of Americans.
  
  Folks, the insurance companies are not your friends. Everybody needs medical insurance if they can afford it, because a single serious illness can lead to bankruptcy. Insurance companies know that, and they’re going to take every penny you have if you let them.

  “‘Lying Worm’: Beck’s Reaction To Krugman’s ‘Death Panel’ Remarks”
  
  Just remember … these people are not “incompetently” trying to make America better; they are pointed trying with ever means possible to OVERTHROW America by COLLAPSING IT into a COMMUNIST SYSTEM that WE ARE ALREADY PARTIALLY IN! And they have been conspiring to do this for the last “100 YEARS” (remember that phrase):
  
  “DEMOCRATS OPENLY BOAST! Socialized Medicine IS KEY To The 100 YEARS Marxist U.S.-Overthrow Strategy!”
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Loi_Vqu7Z28
  ” ‘This is a wonderful, exciting day for us [marxist Democrats] and the culmination of nearly 100 years of work.’ With those chilling words, by the appropriately named New York Democrat ‘Rules Committee Chairman’ Louise Slaughter, the Democrat majority of the U.S. House Of Representatives, in lock-step, pushed through an un-Constitutional, socialist takeover of America under the umbrella phrase of ‘health care’.”

  You get over it. If you’re forced to pay for it it should be available to you, if you desire to live, even if it only extends your life for ten seconds more. Now all of a suddent there are qualifiers attached to
  Barrycare. Everyone is paying for it weather they know it or not. In any event take this bull crap laden Barrycare and shove it. It’s a bad joke anyway. It’s another government shell game which separates money and power from the people and gives it to the government.

  Our lefties are pretty much admitting that the Democrats lied but they don’t care. The administration and others denied there would be death panels and attacked anyone suggesting otherwise as crazy right wing nut jobs. Now it’s becoming more and more clear that it’s going to happen under Obamacare and all our lefties can say is essentially “well yeah, death panels are necessary and good.” Why weren’t you guys saying that during the health care debates? Give me one good reason why we should trust anything the administration says. Go ahead lefties. Because it seems like the administration is pretty good at getting away with saying whatever they want to push their agenda, regardless of the truth.

  What you don’t understand is that death panels start like you say, and then the age gets younger, the operations get fewer and intensive care for the elderly diminishes slowly.
  
  See how we have come to accept, immorality, anti-religious motives, casual sex and violence in our lives with bad behavior over the decades.
  
  Look at history and how the horrible attrocities happen, they start small.
  It can start with abortion, assisted suicide, then in the worst case scenerio, euthanasia and the mass murder of millions.

  Valerie could be counte among them according to many reports… And even Obama.. Try digging up facts on his grandparents.. Recall they attended a Unitarian church and their daughter was a little Commie.. Regardless Obama is handpicked and he is their puppet to do with as they please.
  
  Sorry but Iran and China are no threat to me. Just because you say they are doesn’t make it so.. Just because the US invaded, destroyed anilihated Iraq at the cost of a trillion dollars, priceless blood wasted, and ever increasing casualities even to this day doesnt mean they were an enemy either.
  
  Actually I think the facts have become pretty clear about Iraq and many Conservatives just can’t handle the facts. Maybe one day they will experience the pleasures of an unprovoked invasion themselves and watch their nation and families be slaugthered before their eyes..

  It was not too long ago that hospitalization was very affordable. The first plan I enrolled in cost about $2 a pay. But then Gov’t continued to mandate that employers provided coverage, and then what type of coverage and then who to cover and as the mandates piled up so did the premiums. With all the mandates in Obamacare premiums are already skyrocketing and the damn thing hasn’t even been fully enacted. When it is next year look out!

  It is the sick and twisted thinking of people like Krugar that was responsible for the murder of millions of Jews during WWII as well as millions more who had to fight back the nazi war machine.
  
  It’s with people like Krugar where mass genocide always begins.
  
  “The gas chambers of Auschwitz were the ultimate consequence of the theory that man is nothing but the product of heredity and environment…I am absolutely convinced that the gas chambers of Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Maidanek were ultimately prepared not in some Ministry or other in Berlin, but rather at the desks and in the lecture halls of nihilistic scientists and philosophers.” — Victor Frankl, Psychiatrist, survived two nazi death camps.

There is a big push and it has been reported that a group of women want control over the life of their child up to age of almost 3. If we can kill the most innocent, whether in the womb or as a child, how far would it be to kill old adults? The same ones that suggest Conservatives are all about money will commit many murders for money!

Rationing is death panels…

Steven Rattner Obama administration lead advisor to Treasury

from NYTIMES

“Well, maybe not death panels, exactly, but unless we start allocating health care resources more prudently — rationing, by its proper name — the exploding cost of Medicare will swamp the federal budget.”

“Medicare needs to take a cue from Willie Sutton, who reportedly said he robbed banks because that’s where the money was. The big money in Medicare is not to be found in Mr. Ryan’s competition or Mr. Obama’s innovation, but in reducing the cost of treating people in the last year of life, which consumes more than a quarter of the program’s budget.”

“At the least, the Independent Payment Advisory Board should be allowed to offer changes in services and costs. We may shrink from such stomach-wrenching choices, but they are inescapable.”

  One has to think that politics could enter the decision making by this panel, not only would a patient’s age be a factor but how he or she voted in thier life time could also be put in as a tie breaker for the panel if they are locked on a marginal patient or if they want this patient to expire but don’t have enough evidence that he or she should be cut out. I have no doubt that such a panel would be made up of progressives since they love Government work. Oh I see he or she is a Conservative or has voting tendencies that indicate Right wing thinking well were not spending anymore money this patient.

  No one ever talks about how greedy doctors will do a heart bypass on a dying patient just to collect the Medicare money. They also don’t talk about how greedy doctors will do cancer treatments on dying patients to collect Medicare payments. I’ve seen this happen on relatives. The first being 20 years ago.

I have tried to explain to the kids that used to hang out here with my kids, who are all over 30 now, that they are already on the downside of Glenn’s bell curve. They ain’t getting it. They still think that they are getting free health care, any day now.

  It’s a sad situation isn’t it when you have a group of people believing there’s actually such a thing as a ‘free’ lunch in this world. Progressives have dumbed down Americans to the point that they think a big government with absolute power and control over us is somehow a good thing. Almost 17 trillion in the hole and people actually think we’re going to get out of this without a depression the likes of which the world has never seen? I’m afraid not,no,and when it hits this generation won’t respond the same way they did in the 30′s because today they’re entitled and when that gravy train stops it’s going to be hell on earth.

Here’s an economist who actually knows what he’s talking about as opposed to Paul,he isn’t even worthy enough to lick Friedman’s ……………………………..shoes.

  Slayer, are you implying the gov does nothing well, that the elite crew don’t know what they are talking about.Good god man, you’ll take us all down with that line of reason. Don’t you know……..reason, logic….and common sense do not apply anymore. Shape up, get with the program, we must spend our way out of debt, two men matting is natural, as well as two women only more so. People who break the law crossing our boarders deserve to cut in line in front of hones folk. Successful people are the enemy and the poor are hero’s, shting on a cop car is more respectable than a peaceful protest of limiting gov. Inanimate objects (ie Guns) are criminals, the holder of said gun is a victim and a needs to be hugged. Ready for some zoloft, whoa, you zoloft user, you can’t have a gun.

There you go GB. That’s good stuff going after the punk ass Keynesians. Perhaps by next week you’ll blow my mind by calling an establishment R a “neocon douche bag”. LOL!

  Nah, I’m glad he went after Krugman and exposed the death panels. I was amused by the “Keynesian fanboy Paul Krugman” comment in the article.

Paul Krugman … reminds me of the Old Nazi regime, kill, kill, kill until your problems are solved.
Paul puts me in mind of a man who has a “twisted Irony” problem, supports Obama care to save under-privileged people, in their bad health, and at the same time kill off the aged, to take the load off Obama care … maybe I should have said .. Paul has a twisted Psychotic Problem … Hey .. “PAUL”, the ‘loony-bin’ is calling for you !

  It has more to do with White, Christian genocide, in my opinion. This way, Krugman’s ‘people’ can increase their influence by growing the welfare class. Communism in stages. His proposal of a VAT is a direct assault on self supporting citizens. The majority, of which, are White Christians.

I guess there is nothing to read on the BLaze for me to read about what Krugman is saying. Sorry Beck if there was something more interesting to read I would have skipped this. I will next time skip anything about Krugman … He is a jerk, liar, and someday I hope he will be up in front of a death panel.

Folks, the sad fact is that a large part of the country believe what these progs are selling, they believe gov know’s best for us. They have been dumbed down to the point of sheepism. They line up week after week to be sheared. But as Jodi Foster found out…….At some point comes the silence of the lambs. There is still a large portion of the country that believes in the individual and self reliance. Its time folks…….time is running out. We are becoming outnumbered and forgotten with each new generation of progressive zomboids. Every graduating class of Cornell, Columbia, Havad, Yale and multiple other institutions of progressive learning are slicing our numbers to the bone. The last stand is here, if not made in the next year or two…….find higher ground.

“He’s one of the biggest economists out there — everyone has to listen to Paul Krugman.”

Huh? Since when does anyone have to listen to Krugman? Krugman is just an obama propagandist – he is not considered a serious economist – he’s a clown.

We won’t be able to pay for the kind of government the society will want without some increase in taxes … on the middle class, maybe a value added tax.

Paul who says we want a government that pays for unconstitutional programs you stupid sob? You’re the Keynesian economics nut job that thinks we can tax our way to prosperity,you’re an idiot because the progs in government could confiscate,and they probably will,everybody’s money and it won’t make a bit of difference. The death panels that are coming are going to be in the form of denying claims and they’ll deny millions. It won’t be a panel where you have to appear and justify your existence although I’d like to hear the justification for your existence you collectivist worthless POS.

“Now here he is, a Nobel Prize winner, admitting, yeah, it’ll lead to the things conservatives warned us about.”
It’s called SARCASM.

““Ladies and gentlemen,” he continued, “They have lied to you. They have known they have lied to you. They are still lying to you.”

“They know now, at this point, that they can say anything and it will not get them in trouble,” he added.”
Are you braindead? He was CLEARLY mocking the same kind of fatalistic fear-mongering hyperbole that is EXACTLY what you are doing.

  I’m 57, so that should make me among the first recipients of this wonderful program. It appears that just like Nazi Germany, The U.S. has come up with a final solution. When Jesus asked his Father, “Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they do.”, at that time it was true. However, these wicked officials know exactly what they are doing and will be held accountable.

53% of the voters don’t give a damn what anyone says as long as they get their entitlements. That is all that matters…everything else is moot.

Duke’s Premier Ethicist, Stanley Hauerwas, once observed at an Alzheimer’s Workshop I attended that the Logic of Abortion would be used to Legitimate Euthanasia.

And so it has come to pass.

Calling him a lying worm is a slander to all worms. Maybe a piece of rotten fecal matter found under a rotting corpse would be too good to call him, but it’s a start.

Paul Krugman is the modern day Eichman, a propagandist for the Liberal Elite. The first mouthpiece in a new orwellian world that, as a Nobel Winning Economist, will put forth a new theory, 2 + 2 = 5.

  And you know, he doesn’t even see the irony. “WE” get to decide who is worthy and who is not. Same way the Nazis started. First the mentally retarded, the insane, invalids, sent off to “hospitals” where they soon “expired”. Then the Nuremberg laws. Simply deprive certain kinds of people of rights and privileges of citizenship. After that you can start stacking up the cattle cars.

Our government… teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.
