I think we need to remember that the "entitlement spending" being referred to is entitled because we've paid it. The real entitlements are subsidies and preferential tax treatment. Those "entitlements" were not specifically paid for in the past and present. The only reason the debt is impacted by social security is because Congress borrowed from the social security trust and now us it (us) its money back.
Horse crap. many of the entitlements are NOT Paid for. Especially not by those who are receiving them.
