Krugman Applies Protosimian Logic to Health Care. Big Government and Higher Taxes! Of Course!

Abstract: Krugman of the New York Times tautologically restrokes the eternal quest for more government and higher taxes. This pedestrian-level screed warps normal logic, as usual, and offers us the startling and unknown fact that our healthcare system works only because for our government. The usual propagandistic levers are duly pushed in the proper turn-of-the-crank sausage machine processes with the mindless but ever predictable nostrum that we need bigger government and higher taxes. Thus, this article is hopelessly redundant, mired in lies and propaganda, subservient to politicians and may safely be ignored.

The construction of propaganda pieces[1][2][3][4] and other variants of disinformation are designed to sway the reader with some guarantee of money, justice or, more appropriately: the ill-gotten money or hides of evil doers and capitalists.  Tax increases, particularly of the infective and punitive type, always appeal to the mentally unwashed and cognitively disnimble that swarm to their government for welfare, drugs and excuses for losers. Such fabrications of reality soon begin with some worthless anecdote [or a legendary frog story[5]] that rings a distant bell in the cobweb-clutter minds of those inattentive or cognitively disnimble souls who are easy targets for hokum and fluff assaults.  This type of connection then cements in their diminutive neuronal sets the present banality from the Times.  And, as usual, its success signals another round of essays on the splendor of big government and higher and higher taxes. Bacterial infections work like this.

Today, for our amusement, our esteemed non-economist from the New York Times, who is known affectionately as Dr. Paul Krugman of the Walter Duranty Papers, [6] squeezes off another propagandistic offalette[7] sanctioning the enduring confiscation of more private loot. This theme, unvarying from our wonderful Mr. Nobel Laureatte, and rising like the will-o-the-wisp from the swamps dressed as our Expert from Afar,[8] allows the good doctor to puff up some balloons and float them off into the sky for the victims to gawk at and marvel at the profundity. The cancerous topic is, or course, healthcare.

Predictably, it begins with some anecdote:

 “At a recent town hall meeting, a man stood up and told Representative Bob Inglis to “keep your government hands off my Medicare.” The congressman, a Republican from South Carolina, tried to explain that Medicare is already a government program — but the voter, Mr. Inglis said, “wasn’t having any of it.””[9]-- Health Care Realities By Paul Krugman Op-Ed Columnist Published: July 30, 2009    [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]

This opening is an example of misdirection and is frequently used to state the conclusion upfront so that the tautological and gratuitous circular logical stream that follows amplifies thus sanctioning this premise. This is one of the middle-grade examples of what the NYT can operate as a slick propaganda machine.[10] They have been cleverer.

At this juncture, we must wonder where the error in logic or syntax exists in the comment. We know that our government is a failure and packed with self-serving criminals such as Senator Chrissy Dodd (D-CT) and Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) who took bribes for their support of “Friends of Angelo (FOA) loans.” You might recall those are the special mortgages that former Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo”[11][12][13] created for this bribers and saved our good senators a lot of money. Gee, were they on the committee that regulated or had oversight on the mortgage industry? We don’t want to be too cynical so somebody look this up and e-mail me if I am wrong.

The correct interpretation of the comment lies in a rejection of the embedded protosimian bias from our author today. The salient fact is that the government does have its infected hands upon our healthcare system and it is going broke both fiscally and intellectually. This selection of a comment from an angry taxpayer thus prompts the writer to soar into the upper reaches for ethereal responses as to why our wonderful government should not control more of our lives and take more and more of our wealth:

“It’s a funny story — but it… yadda yadda yadda[14]-- the government is already deeply involved, even in private insurance.

“And that government involvement is the only reason our system works at all.”-- Paul Krugman Op-Ed Columnist Published: July 30, 2009   

What?????????

This preposterous comment attempts to implant the spurious notion that such things are ONLY possible with the egalitarian, guiding hand of the government pushing the levers.  Why not extend this twisted logic so as to assure us that our vaulted Social Security system-- now broke[15]--‘works’ well due to the diligence of our government. Perhaps we can praise the government for our illegal alien problems, the failure of Amtrak[16] to make a profit[17] in four decades or the successful rehabilitation of criminals? The national debt discussion is reserved for another time.

Aren’t these government programs? Why don’t they work? Does this phony leftist precept need more amplification?

“The key thing you need to know about health care is that it depends crucially on insurance.”-- Paul Krugman Op-Ed Columnist Published: July 30, 2009   

Here we go! More government??!! Could  we have predicted this?? Is this sausage-machine journalism?

“Yet private markets for health insurance, left to their own devices, work very badly:…yadda yadda”-- Paul Krugman Op-Ed Columnist Published: July 30, 2009   

Bingo! This theme roils back like malaria.

“Today, Medicare — which is, by the way, one of those “single payer” systems conservatives love to demonize — covers everyone 65 and older. And surveys show that Medicare recipients are much more satisfied with their coverage than Americans with private insurance.”-- Paul Krugman Op-Ed Columnist Published: July 30, 2009   

I have Medicare and it stinks like dog crap. The agencies I have to deal with are stuffed with slothful and cognitively-deficient protozombies[18] who shuffle paper work around and make stupid mistakes. The system does not pay doctors enough so many reject this horror. I am forced to pay into this crap barrel of twisted logic, stale theories and dysfunctional regulations. The system is broke thanks to our government. Get real. Privatize Medicare.

“So here’s the bottom line: if you currently have decent health insurance, thank the government. ”-- Paul Krugman Op-Ed Columnist Published: July 30, 2009   

That just went over the top.  Maybe I can thank my car for working well by praising Amtrak. Maybe I can be proud of my dead bolts that protect me from criminals who were ‘rehabilitated’ by our government. I just checked my bottom and it suddenly reminds me of our government.

Krugman is a Tax Zombie. Krugman is only defiant on one issue in economics and that is his ongoing crusade against the existence of Tax-cut Zombies.[19]  He is always in favor of higher taxes. Pick a topic and Krugman will advise that we tax it.[20] Tax cuts do NOT spur growth in the economy.

Restating the current malignant tax case with some truth-base editing:”And that government involvement is the only reason our system fails at everything.”—rycK in today’s blog.

We elect criminals[21], drunks[22] and sons of drunks [like the drunken cop car crasher Patrick Kennedy[23][24],], dopers, parasites, loonies[25], perverts, EcoNazis[26], incompetents[27] and losers and they beseech soiled rags like the NYT to pulverize the facts and disseminate protosimian screeds like today’s submission from Paul Krugman to justify their sorry existence and encourage us to pay more taxes for their welfare and perverted desires.

As the dog returns to its vomit, the NYT returns to tax whoring.

Racism Explodes in the White House from Predictable Cognitive Underloading.  Ideological Racism is Safe for Now.

Abstract: Barry lost intimate contact with his puppet strings and morphed back into his street hustler mode. In the middle of several nasty political problems, mostly from his own party, he now scrambles to set up a White House Beer Blast to unwind and defuse his racist and stupid remarks about acting ‘stupidly.’ The media cluster around his skirts to defend him.

The notion that President Obama is somehow involved in some post-racial era was founded on fluff and hokum at the first dim light but now, in full regalia, we observe that hate-twisted racism is still the glue that binds the radical left together in the political arena. Aligned with the sophomoric low-class[1] radical theorems of the 60s, Barack has reflexively leaped back into his standard South-of-State-Street form and mentality. Ignoring his narrow political training he explodes and dumps on some white cop in a typical white-on-black encounter[2], common in all major cities but sans the details. This is a political blunder.

The Gates Episode[3] has rent the veil in the shabby facade of the Obama Presidency. Many of us warned the voters about his 20-year tautological anti-white tutelage at the knee of Jeremiah Wright and his church’s pews full of swaying and ranting racists. Where is Frank Rich to put some reverse-spin on this and go after the white cop’s church?[4] Now the Beer Summit [5] brings Henry Louis Gates Jr. [“Do you know who I am??]  and Sgt. James Crowley together with Our Fürher and this spur-of-the-moment piece of theater promises to taunt and tempt Obama to posture and work the damage-control levers as his approval rating is plummeting down to dangerously low Bush-Era levels. Not to mention that his promises about jobs, the economy,  saving phony mortgages for the ‘poor’ and abandoning Guantanamo are so much stale tripe, his problems with his own Democrats in his massive-Majority Congress  are astronomical. Here they earned unbridled supremacy in both houses and wrested the Oval Office away from the Nazis and are restuffing the Supreme Court with leftist activist stooges[6] now everything rots by the hinges of Fate and Politics. Of course, the economy is crashing and his stimulus is similar to adding muscle to a track star by injecting some virulent tumors, but, then, he is surrounded by political hacks, liars and criminals.[7] Times are tough.

In collateral damage tones, we observe that the person who reported this incident to 911 has been attacked as a ‘racist.’ Lucia Whalen[8] is now the target of the media as some kind of provocateur and commented:

"I was called racist and I was a target of scorn and ridicule because of the things I never said," she said. "The criticism hurt me as a person, but it also hurt the community of Cambridge."[9]-- 911 caller in Gates case hurt by racist label By Jay Lindsay (AP) July 30, 2009.

You are a racist under leftist definitions because you dared to call the police and report an incident even if you didn’t have any racial or ethnic details. You are expected to look the other way and not be a snitch. Learn this lesson: that is what contemporary black-on-white racism is all about. The least you could have done would have been to lie to the 911 operator and invent a fiction about a pack of howling Klu Klux Klansmen who were on a rousing lynching party in that neighborhood. Refer to the New York Times—aka the Walter Duranty Papers[10]-- for the proper leftist authorized view of this matter.[11]

Another thought:

“All white people are racists. “[12]-University of Delaware.

Guilty…

Gates is just another embarrassing example[13] of how affirmative action allows the inept to gain acceptance in academia and politics where they cannot compete intellectually and his foul-mouthed rants on the sidewalk, outside his house[?], where he railed against the police in a despicable and disorderly manner that demanded arrest. Al Sharpton would have conducted himself in a more orderly manner as he has experience with riots, some street killings and police and arrests. Apparently Gate’s ‘comments’ to the police have been suppressed[14] we learn from Ann Coulter, always reliable when facts are confidently  mislaid in leftist essays,  as is absolutely necessary to redact any and all incidents to show that only whites are racists.

“On MSNBC's "Hardball," Chris Matthews said that Gates did not say, "I'll speak with your mama outside," as stated in the police report.”[15]- How About A National Conversation On Race Hoaxes? By Ann Coulter July 29, 2009 [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]

Maybe Crissy still has that magical something running up and down his leg.[16] Here is the police report in this footnote:[17] Did he read the police report or did he just ‘know’ a prime example of affirmative action would be above this level of conduct?

Obama was confirmed as an ideological racist[18] who was masquerading as some kind of moderate:

Do we remember this?

"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."[19]—Barack Obama off camera in what he thought was a safe environment to express his views.[20]

Is this the expected product of Affirmative Action? Apparently so, in stereo counting Obama.
