ACCORDING TO DR BERNANKE...
BACK IN THE 30'S....YOU GOT SERIOUSLY ILL...AND YOU DIED WITHIN A MONTH...PROBABLY AT HOME WITH RELATIVES...
NOW...
YOU GET SICK...AND YOU DIE SIX MONTHS OR A YEAR LATER ...
AFTER SPENDING $200,000 ON LIFE SUPPORT...IN A "DEATH TRAP" HOSPITAL ICU...
WHEN ALL THE "HEROIC" MEASURES AND SPECIALISTS HAVE BEEN "BILLED" TO YOUR INSURANCE...
THEN,... YOU DIE...
BUT HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO THE CENTRAL BANKS THAT SOMETIMES ECONOMIC "DEATH" IS A GOOD THING...?
IT "CLEARS THE DECKS" AND ALLOWS "NEW LIFE" TO START...
BY BERNANKE'S SCHOLARLY REASONING ... THE DEATH OF THE DINOSAURS HAPPENED BECAUSE: "NATURE SCREWED UP!"
LIKE SOMEONE I KNOW SAID AT THE DEATH OF AN ELDERLY RELATIVE :
"THERE IS NO CURE FOR BEING 87 YEARS OLD...!"
DEAL WITH IT....
QUESTION:
SHOULD WE DETACH THE "FEEDING TUBES"....AND TURN OFF THE RESPIRATOR...
MAYBE "GRAMPS" BELONGS IN A HOSPICE...NOT THE ICU...?
BUT MY GOD...!
IT'S SO HARD TO BE "KIND!!"
....WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN...AS WE SEE EVERYDAY NOW IN WASHINGTON.
