Yes . It's frustrating that it is successful. Chances are there's a technical term for this illogical form of argumentation but , whatever , it ought to be unsuccessful. But it isn't.

This has always annoyed me,

This has always annoyed me, the lumping of three entirely separate programs into one as "entitlements." How about I lump corn subsidies into Social Security and then say that farm entitlements are too large? Or how about I combine TARP and Social Security and say that bank entitlements have gotten out of hand?

Because they lie about

Because they lie about everything!

The right has wished to abolish Social Security since 1935 when it first took hold.

In my opinion, this country needs a one payer program and get rid of all the rest.

Then institute price controls on health costs.

I never understood why the rich are so against this. I mean the rich will always get better health care no matter what system is in place just as they will receive better housing, better education, better cars....
