That's not what Krugman said in February, he actually believes no one will notice he contradicted himself? Makes it up as he goes like most elitists do.... nytimes.com politicians demonizing attempts to rein in Medicare costs one day (death panels!), then denouncing excessive government spending the next — well, what else is new?

Has it ever occurred to Krugman and friends that maybe Medicaid should be overhauled....? Do people on Medicaid EVER put any money into the program? Or are they just takers? And how about NOT giving Medicaid to anyone who is not a citizen of this country? Patch their immediate owie, and send them back to the country of origin for that country to fix. If we charged the current percentage for both employer and employee for Medicare, and had no ceiling, wouldn't we be in the clear? And what about all the House and Senate and Adm employees, AND in fact, ALL Government workers over the years..... how much are we paying for their retirement these days?
