Life really is stranger than fiction.

A few years back the Republicans were blathering on and on about Obama's supposed "Death Panels".

And now...

With Ryan's plan, they want to do him one better with what amounts to the economically induced euthanization of a significant number of American's elderly.

Think about it.

Ryan wants to end Medicare for future retirees (anyone currently 55 or younger) and thereby force them to remain on private insurance plans.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Republicans want to repeal Obama Care.

Your classic one-two punch.

Let's say that they succeed on both counts.

Ten years hence, any senior who ever had an untimely lapse in his or her insurance coverage and is subsequently faced with life threatening consequences from a pre-existing condition will be denied coverage and thereby culled from the herd in short order.

What we'll have here are virtual death panels running on autopilot that will save Uncle Sam billions.

It's a teabagger's wet dream.
