Lies Paul Krugman Told Me

I was gonna write a post about a column by the racist Leonard Pitts that appeared in Sunday’s Atlanta Urinal and Constipation but then the AJC had a column by Paul Krugman in this morning’s paper and ol’ lyin’ Paul is always a target rich environment so I chose him over racist Leonard.

Do you think it is possible for Paul Krugman to write a column without a lie? Nope. He wrote a column about Trump destroying Medicare. Yannow, Dimocrats say this about Republicans every election. Republicans are gonna throw granny off a cliff. Republicans are gonna cut Social Security. Republicans are gonna cut Medicare.

Let me point out how seniors have fared under eight years of Dimocrat rule. Low interest rates have screwed seniors since a lot of them have money in CDs. Meanwhile fake numbers on inflation have kept Social Security COLAs low for seniors. There have been three years in the last eight where seniors received no COLA increases in Social Security. Next year the COLA will be a whopping .3%. That is three tenths of one percent. Meanwhile, every year Medicare premiums increase. This is effectively a cut in Social Security. It’s also Dimocrats who have increased taxes on Social Security benefits. When Social Security was implemented it was promised that benefits wouldn’t be taxed. And it’s the Republicans who want to throw granny off the cliff? Here’s a suggestion. Make Social Security COLA the same as the one Congress uses.

Krugman starts.

During the campaign, Donald Trump often promised to be a different kind of Republican, one who would represent the interests of working-class voters who depend on major government programs. “I’m not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid,” he declared, under the headline “Why Donald Trump Won’t Touch Your Entitlements.”

It was, of course, a lie. The transition team’s point man on Social Security is a longtime advocate of privatization, and all indications are that the incoming administration is getting ready to kill Medicare, replacing it with vouchers that can be applied to the purchase of private insurance. Oh, and it’s also likely to raise the age of Medicare eligibility.

Of course no announcements have been made. This is just a typical Krugman smear. And you want to talk about cutting Medicare? Obungler stole $500 biollion from Medicare to fund Obummercare. He goes on and on in peddling this smear. Then comes this lie.

…Trump lost the popular vote by a significant margin, making any claim of a mandate bizarre.

That is total bullshit. First off, not all of the votes have been counted. Second, if you throw out all of the votes by illegal aliens in California, the dead votes in Chicago and other Dimocrat strongholds, and the massive voter fraud that is always perpetuated by Dimocrats, Trump won by over one million votes. Remember, Obumbler told illegals to vote and said there would be no consequences. I would love to see how the vote would change in California if there were strictly enforced voter ID laws. I would like to see that all over the country. Republicans seem to win in states that do have voter ID laws. Dimocrats would still win in California but the margins would be closer. Your side has to cheat to win. The Founders were smart to put the Electoral College in the Constitution.

And near the end of the column he comes out with this.

What’s not widely known is that the cost-saving measures included in the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, have been remarkably successful in their efforts to “bend the curve” — to rein in the long-term rise in Medicare expenses.

Yannow how they did this? First, they stole $500 billion from Medicare to support Obummercare. Then, they have started denying care to seniors. If you’re over 70 they will no longer check for prostate cancer. Remember those death panels they said didn’t exist? They do. Here’s an example. I went to the emergency room with my blood pressure at 190 over 120. A few years back when this happened, they immediately checked me into the hospital and got my BP stabilized. This time, they sent me home and told me to make an appointment with my doctor. I heard the ER doctor talking to the doctor from my HMO and it was the HMO doctor’s decision not to check me in. The ER doctor recommended doubling one of my BP meds, which I did. So yeah. Obummercare has cut Medicare costs by denying services to seniors like me just like Republicans said it would. So which party is pushing granny off the cliff?

In summary, then, privatizing Medicare would betray a central promise of the Trump campaign, would specifically betray the interests of the voter bloc that thought it had found a champion, and would be terrible policy.

If he repeals Obummercare it will help the interests of seniors.

You might think this would make the whole idea a non-starter. And this push will, in fact, fail — just like Social Security privatization in 2005 — if voters realize what’s happening.

They won’t find out what’s happening from you Paul. So far, privatizing Medicare is only in your mind. Just more bullshit that you make up every time you write a column.

What’s crucial now is to make sure that voters do, in fact, realize what’s going on. And this isn’t just a job for politicians. It’s also a chance for the news media, which failed so badly during the campaign, to start doing its job.

You mean how they didn’t report anything negative about Crooked Cankles? How they smeared Trump every chance they got? How they didn’t report on the pay to play with the Clinton Crime Family Foundation when Hacking Hillary was SecState? How they were totally in bed with Thunder Rodent Thighs and fed her questions before the debates? How the media is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party. How we knew more about Sarah Palin two days after McRINO selected her as his VP than we will ever know about Jug Hussein Ears Downgrade? Is that what you mean by the media not doing its job? The media lost all pretense of objectivity this election and the mask slipped and we saw it for what it was: a propaganda organization. You are one of its members Paul. You are nothing more than an overpaid lying propagandist and you, like the rest of the media, have absolutely no shame for being a shill for a party of rat bastard commies.

Fuck you Paul!

Update: I forgot to add that after Trump was elected Krugman said the markets would never recover. Today the S&P 500, DJIA, and NASDAQ set record highs. As I have written many times about Krugman, all you really need to know about him is that he was an economist for ENRON. ‘Nuff said.

  1. First, medicare premiums have now increased for my wife and I since we went on SS and medicare. 8 years back.
    Second, COLA is the same for the president and congress and federal employees as we retires….but of course, congress gets to vote on increase in their pay that have nothing to do with the real world.
    And it good old republicans in cahoots with democrats who fucked me and many other federal employees by letting us no longer collect the full amount of SS we earned prior to federal service!
    I could go on, but you like so many call the lefties liars (and damn do they ever stop lying?) while making up nice lies that you know the lefties will never call you out on.

    • I have been hard on Republicans as well. A good percentage of the Republican Party has been in cahoots with the Dimocrats. I have singled many of them out like John McRINO, Lindsey Graham, Bitch McConnell, and John Boner. Paul Ryan cannot be trusted either. I have excoriated the Republican Congress during 2000-2006 many times on this blog for busting the budget and Bush for not vetoing any of the spending bills. The ones most guilty of working with Dimocrats showed their true colors during the last election by coming out in support of Crooked Cankles. I used to respect the Bush family. No more.

      Did I not say Medicare premiums have increased?

  2. Since when have Social Security and Medicare become entitlements?
    We paid into these funds for years and if our congress critters think these are entitlements then their pay is an entitlement also.
