Yes, you are correct Tim. Entitlements are becoming a positively huge portion of our budget. Both Bush's tax cuts and his prescription drug plan added hundreds of billions to the deficit, though.

Those entitlements that you talk about are one of the big reasons why we have such huge deficits now and they will keep growing. It really puts Obama in a bind.
