Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso has an advice for elderly people of Japan. It can be summed up in four blunt words: "hurry up and die."
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.

His family industry used slave labor during the war.

Incredibly, this piece of cat vomit was once prime minister. And his American GOP ties go further. he is one of about 3% of Japanese who consider themselves Christians - just as in America, a religious fanatic over-represented in the government.

The idiocy of a man in his early seventies telling elderly people that they should go and die. Maybe he should check that the average life expectancy of a Japanese man is around 80, which means he on average has less than a decade left himself.

I'm not surprised, considering Shinzo Abe is back in power.

His argument is that old people are a drain on public healthcare finances clearly he can continue to pay for his own healthcare out of pocket and is thus not a drain on society :rolleyes:

What he would have wanted to say is that poor people should hurry up and die.

I thought the GOP had a problem with "death pannels"

I thought thats only when they actually want to be euthanised then its a horrible perversion of the sanctity of life.

Yep, first they're pro-life saying "we need to protect the fetus" but they also turn around and also say "The elderly should hurry up and die". Hypocrisy in it's best.

In a GOP world the death panels are called insurance companies.
