        @WSJ good article on entitlements. We are all on the take. To solve, need to reduce entitlements and raise taxes. Sorry the answer hurts.

        @WSJ That "half" of the country LOVES this and would like MUCH MORE is so very disappointing and destructive to America's COMMON GOOD!!

        @WSJ You need to begin distinguishing between "entitlements" and programs that we and our employers have paid for, like Social Security.
