Let elderly people 'hurry up and die', says Japanese minister
I didn't know Japan had tea-bagger scum..............
Japan's new government is barely a month old, and already one of its most senior members has insulted tens of millions of voters by suggesting that the elderly are an unnecessary drain on the country's finances.
Taro Aso, the finance minister, said on Monday that the elderly should be allowed to "hurry up and die" to relieve pressure on the state to pay for their medical care.
"Heaven forbid if you are forced to live on when you want to die. I would wake up feeling increasingly bad knowing that was all being paid for by the government," he said during a meeting of the national council on social security reforms. "The problem won't be solved unless you let them hurry up and die."
Aso's comments are likely to cause offence in Japan, where almost a quarter of the 128 million population is aged over 60. The proportion is forecast to rise to 40% over the next 50 years.

I love how the DUmmy claims that this is how us tea baggers are, when it is the left who came up with the death panels.

2. The Scrooge mentality knows no borders and spans all generations.
Sadly, the miserly will always be with us. We just have to always make sure they never get into office!
Too late they already are. And they all have a D next to their name. It wasn't a repuke that said grandma will get a pain pill instead of a pacemaker, it was 0bama. The worst part is if we do that Michael Bloomberg will only allow grandma one pain pill a day. :mental:

This was a SOCIALIST minister. Socialists have always been about killing others.
Don't think modern democrats are any different, they just know enough to keep it quiet.

Try getting into one of your free health care utopias if you have a medical condition DUmbasses.

This should be of concern to the primitives.
Remember, a substantial plurality of them are over 60, and a majority over 50.
Despite that they come across sounding as if shallow spoiled-brat teenagers.

So much for the Japanese way of respecting their elders.

Coming soon to the USSA, compliments of the Dims and the DUmmies.
Enjoy.

Population control has ALWAYS been a tenet of the Prog/Socialist/Communists, DUmbasses. It wasn't our side that was celebrating Jack Kervorkian, fools.

...or the IPAB death panels. It's the deep deep blue states that consider allowing euthanasia. Was it Oregon? We all know the Norsky socialist countries embrace it enthusiastically.
