First of all I haven't seen anyone proposing to get rid of all entitlement programs.

But they seem to be the root cause for a lot of the problems the country has. Did you by chance watch John Stossel's piece on freeloaders in America? The part about the Indians was very telling and very damning of the entitlement mentality. The ones without the handouts prospered and those who got them continue in abject poverty.

What is your solution? It is pretty clear we can't keep all the entitlements in place and continue to exist as a prosperous country. When do you propose that people WHO CAN be expected to make a go of it on their own? Sorry, but I didn't birth them and don't feel responsible to feed them. I give to the needy, but don't believe the Federal Government should decide who gets my gifts.
