What has gone ballistic is [sic] entitlements.

Are you able to provide any examples?

I don't know if ktbr can but I'll be happy to. Look at the graph
next to the third paragraph.

I hope you're not suggesting that Social Security payments should be
slashed to provide more money for the military.

I didn't suggest anything of the sort. Though, I wouldn't mind having my
share of the $199billion that the poor think they are entitled to back in my
bank account.


Have you ever stopped to consider the horrendous effect failure to
provide the indigent and their dependent children with the health care
and other necessities of life might precipitate? Would you rather
wade through infectious derelicts as you walk to the office, read of
the sharp increase in crimes of desperation, not to mention suffering
the guilt of failing to act humanly toward your more unfortunate
fellows? I hope you don't think there won't be unpleasant
consequences if fundamental assistance weren't provided the poor. (In
the case of those who failed to comply with US immigration laws to
gain admittance to the US, the picture is considerably less clear.)
