    I always found it amusing how the term “entitlement” has been butchered by Americans.

    In this case it’s a deliberate misuse by the GOP to conflate the word with welfare programs that the voters see as free handouts to the lazy. So then they can tout polling data that shows voters against entitlement programs as fodder to gut/end social security and Medicare. I’m constantly having to have this discussion with conservatives when they use the word incorrectly.
