Entitlement. Backdoor reparations. When you're talking about federal spending "entitlement" has a precise legal definition.
It has nothing to do with "feeling entitled" to something.
Welfare payments are *not* an entitlement.
Entitlements are paid regardless of the shutdown, such as Social Security and military pensions.
Federal spending is in this order: Debt service, entitlements, budget items.
Welfare is a budget item.
What's going on is the Democrats are willing to unleash riots and looting to get their budget.

So effing what? The legal definition?
Marxism in America has created a sense of entitlement among those who have been indoctrinated to believe they are victims. They feel entitled the goods and services that belong to others. They feel owed, so they feel no guilt about stealing.

Seems the Democrats have been the problem all along, demanding some things that are totally unreasonable, so the government could be restarted. If their depmands are given into, then we automatically have another crisis on our hands. I think most reasonable people understand the problem.
