This thread is right up my alley.

In the U.S., we live in an entitlement culture. Just pay attention to how many commercials use the phrase, "you deserve...".

What we deserve is to apply our creativity, strength, and discipline to something productive, living well within our means, and being generous towards true need.

No politician will be popular if they campaign on reigning in spending, because when it comes down to it, the public won't stand for reductions in anything. Our options right now are to waste money on building walls, or waste "rich people's" money on those who make poor life decisions.
