Social Security is indeed an entitlement program. Your feeling that you are deserving of it doesn’t change the fact. Social Security should be phased out as quickly as possible.

Depends on whose definition you are using. An entitlement is something you don't have to do anything to get ~ e.g. SSI, pell grant, etc. If you have to pay for it it's not an entitlement.

Now, phasing out Social Security may or may not be a good idea, but the current loan to the government will need to be paid back or otherwise set aside by law.

Politicians who imagine they can just take it are both stupid and foolish.
