Yes, I see that. I just think cutting entitlement programs is painful, whether it be to veterans, disabled children, or elderly retirees. Now that the effects of the cuts are becoming increasingly evident, it's becoming apparent that some of those affected groups are ones we belong to or feel we should be protective of. It's my soapbox issue, I suppose. The reality of entitlement programs is that the middle class is a primary beneficiary....
Choosing between the relative merits of supporting a veteran who was promised life-time benefits after service, a mentally ill person, an elderly retiree, a family living in poverty, or a disabled child is impossible for me. I think the impact of these cuts are going to be unacceptable to many people who advocated for them.
