Frankly, I have a hard time when politicians from any party call a benefit you paid for an "entitlement" -- but, I need to be careful here as I do not want to be "political." Still, regardless of your political affiliation. it's important to assist your elected representative with their vocabulary..Social Security and Federal Pensions are not an entitlement...they are a benefit you paid for. An "entitlement" is the gym in the Capitol. An "entitlement" is their reserved parking space at Reagan Airport. Get my drift?
