>>Shocker: Wealth-age gap widens in era of entitlements, high unemployment

Which of these three can we directly change?

- Wealth gap
- entitlements
- high unemployment

Kenneth,

the term entitlements is used and misused. Welfare, food stamps, and earned income credit are entitlements. Social security and Medicare are not.

Would you be in favor of balanced programs where the average person gets out of SS and Medicare what they contribute? Some would get out more than they contribute and some less, but it does not run a deficit long term?
