        I thought the same thing when I read it. Then I read it again, and it seems like he said yes, and then just started talking about other things ha

        Honestly, the man probably doesn't know what entitlements are. He always gives the 'all options are on the table' answer when he has no clue.

        We should nominate a candidate that opposes this.

        Just reading the transcript of what he said is giving me a headache! I don’t know why he gives interviews. He always sounds so ignorant when he’s speaking off the cuff. He needs speech writers to make him seem even somewhat knowledgeable. 🤦🏽‍♀️

        Doesn’t do the briefings, thinks he’s his own best communications department. Pride goeth before a fall.

        They are not “entitlements”. We pay additional taxes earmarked for the benefits. The government continually raids the funds and then robs us of benefits.

        I’m a lawyer and am aware of why they are “called” that. But it’s usage negates the eligibility qualifier that we are taxed for them. I understand your defense of the semantics, but the point is the same.
