wrong,tim there were entitlement promises made......"The Adjusted Service Certificate Law is a United States federal law passed in 1924 that granted veterans of World War I "bonus" certificates the following year that would be redeemable for 1 dollar cash for each day in the USA and 1.25 dollars for each day abroad after a maturation period of 20 years."

also ,tim,what is to keep entitlement reform from being the proper financing of entitlement programs through higher taxes and tarrifs.

IMHO its is plain stupid and political suicide to enact entiltlement reform ,as you see it, going into a recession.

ps...have a look at "the progressive age"starting around 1901
