There is enough money to fight two wars, grossly overspend on the military, give foreign aid to crappy dictators, and give hundreds of billions in tax cuts that benefit the rich the most by far. The media makes a circus of it and are lying lackies for the corporations. And they want to screw the people who need these "entitlements". and paid into them all their lives. Where is the shame? Do the politicians, corporations and media have any conscience?

Since when did Medicare become an entitlement. It's based on what you put in to it. Currently the government has 100k of my money they have likely given away to another pet project. I paid into this program and I might add, without interest. Medicade yes, but not Medicare. I'll be paying for part A-Z and another GAP insurance policy. So where's the entitlement?
Quit taking care of all the anchor babies on Medicade and maybe we can talk. Otherwise these are citizens who paid into a program they had no choice in and it is not an entitlement.
