Over here, in the context of government, entitlement actually does have a very specific meaning, and it is very much in the "you owe me" sense. Having license to do something means having permission to do it. License must be earned and may be revoked, while entitlements are simply what you are owed.

Yes, words have real meanings, but once we get into legalities we have to use words the way the gubmints we're under use them.

As a side note, I'd rather be on a road full of unlicensed illegal immigrants than a road full of Murricans who have had their licenses revoked. Come to think of it, I'd feel safer on a road full of unlicensed illegal immigrants than a road full of Murricans who passed our lame assed "tests."
