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 piecesand 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]
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,
squeezes off another propagandistic offalette
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, 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.””--
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.
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” 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-- 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--‘works’ well due to the diligence of our
government. Perhaps we can praise the government for our illegal alien
problems, the failure of Amtrak to
make a profit 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
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.
He
is always in favor of higher taxes. Pick a topic and Krugman will advise that we tax
it.
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, drunks and sons of drunks [like the drunken cop car crasher Patrick Kennedy,], dopers, parasites, loonies, perverts, EcoNazis, incompetents 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.

Capitol Hill a day earlier. "I

Kennedy said. (Watch

responsibility for events that occurred."
