OK, there was some minsucule entitlement program, that most likely was not called an entitlement program.

and I get accused of nit picking...

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

I wouldn't call just increasing taxes "entitlement reform", so its partially a definitional issue.

But more importantly there is the simple fact that we can't afford to raise taxes that much.
