[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 914568, member: 13254"] It depends on which programs you are talking about. I think the word entitlement has been misapplied to many of the programs, like food stamps, welfare, and many others. The people that are receiving them feel entitled to receive them, whether they are or not. People that receive SS/medicare/medicaid are ,IMO, entitled to those because they have paid into the system whether they wanted to or not. I know there are a few exceptions, such as teachers and firefighters(who have their own retirement systems) but for the most part most of Americans. By doing what More said, eliminating the massive fraud etc. for the first group, those programs may in effect trim themselves down somewhat. We don't know if that will work, we've never tried it.
