Sorry, that is why I put "entitlements" in quotation marks. Social Security is the only legitimate "entitlement" because I put into it every week for over 45 years. I will gladly remove myself from the SS ranks if they give me every penny plus accumulated interest that I put into it. Also, the veterans deserve to be taken care of because they "earned" it too.
If people want "free" health care they can join the military any time they want.
A society can afford to take care of those who do not wish or cannot take care of themselves if there is money left over. A society that is sinking into the ruins because we spent our grand children's future, can hardly afford to just go deeper into debt.
