for every ratings drop possible.
Saying that, I'm sorry he had to go, but he was 95 and in-and-out
of hospitals for the past year.
It wasn't exactly unexpected.
Ditto - in fact I have the suspicion they should have let him go a few
months ago, keeping 95 year olds alive because you can is not always a
good thing.
People in the future won't have the luxury of having that problem
of living too long.
Obama's bureau-rats DEATH PANELS will make the decision on who
is living "too expensively" on the Government's "dime" at whatever age they
are, and will pull the plug on those people when they outlive their monetary
usefulness to the State (Central Gov't).
"Death panels are of course mandatory. There are no free lunches.
If a society does not allocate resources by price competition, it must
allocate by government committees." --Dr. Gary North (see link and article
below)
You live on the Government's "money," you die on the Government's
"money." [*]
Keynesian "economist" Paul Krugman himself admitted to the death
panels reality in the embedded video link below after the 2:20 mark.

"Keynesian Krugman: Higher Taxes and Death Panels Will Be Required"
by Dr. Gary North
November 8, 2013
"Princeton's Paul Krugman is a Keynesian. He is the Keynesian. He is the
resident economist for the New York Times [1].
Economics teaches that there are no free lunches. Therefore, an economy can
allocate scarce resources in two ways: by price competition or by government
committees. Keynesianism seeks to find a middle ground. It wants allocation
by "high bid wins" (auction), but also by government committee
(bureaucracy). The correct word for allocation by bureaucracy is
"rationing." Keynesians never use this word. That is because it is
accurate.
When you say "medical rationing," think "death panels."
In a recent speech at a synagogue, in a question and answer session, he made
it clear that the present welfare state cannot long be financed by today's
taxes. Taxes must rise - maybe in 2025. Costs must be cut. Certain medical
procedures must be curtailed. There must be death panels.
Yes, he really said the Sarah Palin phrase. It got a chuckle. This occurred
around 2 minutes and 20 seconds into the video.
Death panels are of course mandatory. There are no free lunches. If a
society does not allocate resources by price competition, it must allocate
by government committees.
If you are flat on your back, you had better not be over age 60. You had
better not be suffering from a chronic and possibly fatal illness."

Dr. Gary North is a Ludwig von Mises FREE MARKET economist, who doesn't
sugarcoat the failed healthcare central planning schemes as the Keynesians
always do when trying to pull the wool over the peoples' eyes in yet another
"something for nothing" ripoff.
[*] The Government has ZERO money of its own--it all comes from the People
by forced taxation (including future borrowing, a delayed form of taxing
includes interest costs), or the Government/Federal Reserve Banking Cartel's
evil axis get to create it in their computers from nothing tangible in
return for the 'new money', causing higher prices, and the inflationary
funny-"money" rippling through and destablizing the economy. This causes
the huge recessions and mass unemployment that people also despise, but
rarely do the common people blame on the Government/Federal Reserve Banking
Cartel axis that started the 'boom-bust' cycles to continue, and the
Gov't/Fed then merrily blame the bad times on others such as "greedy
businesmen" or foreigners, or other convenient "bad guys" in the popular
mindset.
