[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 1885468, member: 24459"] It seems like SSI/disability, medicare, medicade, VA benefits and maybe welfare are not entitlements but are social insurance programs. Entitlements are like subsidy programs, such as paying a farmer for not growing something, or paying oil companies to research new technology, or pharmacies to research dieseases. So politicians are reframing the idea of what entitlements are. That means a cut to ENTITLEMENTS are going to affect, children, the poor, the old, the disabled, the veterans. Subsidy spending, however, will not be affected. Because subsidys have lobbiest working for their intrest. Subsidys wont be cut because we need subsidys, politicians never say they'll cut subsidys. But thats what needs to be cut. Both parties are guilty of reframing entitlement ideas, so the BUZZ WORD of the ENTITLEMENT CROWD means cutting the programs the benefit those people who need it, while staying silent on subsidys. Pay close attention to the mass media talking heads, the leaders of both political parties as well as Romney and Obama. Listen close and you will hear rhetoric about ENTITLEMENT cuts. They're comming after Medicare, SSI, Disability, VA benefits and welfare programs. [/QUOTE]
