As more aggressive entitlement programs are approved and the approving authority is writing blank checks to citizens of the country. What better reform can take place to ensure people are not becoming leaches or dependent on the governement or society as a whole? Will Americans ever decide to step away form the hand-outs for the short term and instill the next generation with hard work values?

Leaders: Are the people we are discussing good, bad, and otherwise LEECHES on The American Worker? As a community, state, and country we the voters allowed those civil serveants to portay a messaage it is okay to be lazy and accept entitlements without repercussions nor a timeline. When do we say no more and force these "LEECHES" to commit to hard days work and convey to the future(KIDS) that with hard work comes a rewarding lifestyle that wont be taken for granted.

"What better reform can take place to ensure people are not becoming leaches or dependent on the governement". The first place we should look is entitlements for the most affluent. As much as I might philosophically oppose individual welfare, subsidies and loan guarantees are a much higher priority.
Let us first wean the banks, scientists, academics, and farmers from the government teat.

Not sure which pitcher of Kool-Aid you've been drinking from... But corporate personhood has been siphoning off the "entitlement" program for a long time. When we succeed at killing poverty wages and reverse 40 years of anti-labor legislation so that the people have a reason to work (let's face it, when you make more living on the dole than you do putting in a 50 hour week, there is not a lot of motivation), Americans will work.
In the meantime, there are a lot of social safety net programs that are not entitlements because the workers that they cover paid into those programs. They are government mandated and come straight out of an employees checks... Workmen's compensation, Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, just to name a few.

I hope that it is me misunderstanding what he wrote. It is just that I've heard entitlement used when talking SS, Medicaid, Workmen's comp and unemployment way too often from certain groups.
