(2,682 posts)1st A-hole: The goal is to have a leaner-meaner country which means we need to get rid of the old, the sick, the disabled who require services and aren't providing labor.
2nd A-hole: Agreed, but the masses won't go for that. How can we achieve the same goal without tipping our hands?
1st A-hole: We go about it like the frog and boiling water. First, make sure health care is difficult to obtain through lack of funding. That will kill off quite a few. No one will notice.
2nd A-hole: And, if we defund education, we won't have enough doctors either -- another way to achieve the same goal.
3rd A-hole: Then there's the trick of privatizing social security and medicare. After the private companies take their cut, there won't be any money for services.
4th A-hole: Perfect!! that leaves the private insurance companies with ample funds to give to our re-election campaigns.
Ok, DU'ers, anyone want to provide the second act?
