Entitlements are breaking our back, and no one will do anything about it.

You must understand that back-breaking entitlements are a big part of nobama's plan.

With nobama in the WH and Reid in the Senate, government teat sucker entitlements will not be touched. That does not include Social Security and Medicare. It does include Supplemental Security Income (SSI), food stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Medicaid, etc.

They may raise the qualifying age for Social Security, but they won't touch the "welfare" benefits. Gotta increase the size of that non-taxpaying underclass.
