Same with social security and medicare....They are prepaid monies for an individual..

 

[fncceo]

DEAL WITH IT!

Consider it dealt with.

I agree.

The problem is entitlements have a double meaning.

They can be something you paid into, so you are entitled to the benefit.

Or, they can be something that everyone gets with no special requirements.

My opinion that the correct definition should be the first one, and the second was a bastardization of the word by people who used it incorrectly so many times that they adopted their own incorrect meaning so much that it is now acceptable.


What we mean by 'entitlement'? Well, that depends...

Combat Veterans pay a price for Veterans Benefits.
