"so we have to end all entitlements"

Yeah 'cause *another* ten or even twenty years in Afghanistan is likely to be ever-so productive and helpful for America's interests.

(Especially another borrowed Trillion dollars or so to pour out in the mountains and sand of Af-Pak. :-(

Social security and medicare are labeled entitlements by the government. In reality, the funds are comprised of money that working citizens were forced to pay at gunpoint to the federal government.

Congress has stolen the funds and spent the money to maintain their extravagant lifestyles over the decades and to keep themselves in power, while continually leeching from you.
