"Entitlement Reform" Is a Euphemism For Letting Old People Get Sick and Die - The New Republican "Population Control"

~

New Republican name for DEATH PANELS? entitlement reform?

George Orwell would be proud. The latest Washington catchphrase deserves a place of honor in the 1984 lexicon, right between "War Is Peace" and "Love Is Hate.":

"The President's budget punts on entitlement reform," reads a statement by House Republicans.

Reality check: Nobody's proposing 'entitlement reform.' That term is a cloaking device for some very ugly intentions.

The phrase is a euphemism for deep cuts to programs that are vital and even life-saving for millions of elderly and poor people, but it's politically unpalatable to say that.
