@RepJohnLarson Social Security is an entitlement exactly because we pay for it with every pacycheck. We're entitled to it because we've paid for it.

Folks, the actuarial facts are that benefits paid are not equal to premiums collected. Therefore the difference in those amounts would equal an entitlement.

Of course it's an entitlement. If you pay into it for enough years, you qualify for the benefit and are entitled to receive it. The GOP has turned "entitlement" into a dirty word, but it's not. It means you're entitled to what you've earned.

Or maybe we could stop seeing "entitlement" as a dirty word. Social Security IS an entitlement - I have the right to the funds from my account when I can no longer work. I am entitled to it.

Then only ppl who paid in shouldget it, right? If not, then it certainly is an entitlement.

It IS an entitlement. It is what's called a contributory entitlement. It's an entitlement a) because it is federal spending mandated by law and b) beneficiaries have a legally enforceable right to it. The real problem: the GOP bastardization of the term.

Thank you for standing up with such passion for our Social Security benefits! It sickens me when GOPers call SS an "entitlement" when my hard earned money paid for it for decades.

I think it should be treated like a regular annuity. We should at least be able to specify a beneficiary of our own choosing.
