Apparenty so, as recent events have shown.

And I have a related question for you:

Why are we spending so much more (as a % of GDP
and as a % of the budget) on entitlements now
than we did just a few decades ago?
Are we a significantly poorer country now?
How did we even manage to survive just a few
decades ago without all of the entitlement
spending?
