Are you placing SS & Medicare into the "dole" bucket, or what exactly do you mean by hybrid? TIA

<<<It is not feasible to entitle only those you're talking about without it spreading, not in our culture. Which is why I suggest you think twice about supporting entitlements for those in your population. We need to find a different way to help them.>>> If you do the math, the cost of supporting "entitlements" for those I am referring to is a tiny fraction of the overall "entitlements" program that you are refering to. But, that is the one everyone is angry about and want it to be cut first. Everyone else has a powerful lobby. The down and out are down and out. I think that is terribly wrong.
