Are you a member of an entitlement generation, I know I sure am? We are living in one of the most self-absorbed times in American history. We are a gift to society, and the world owes us everything. Entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, yes, but are we taking the entitlements to an all new unsustainable level?
Free education, free healthcare, free prescriptions, free money, free legal aid, free insurance, free benefits to American ____(fill in the blank). Also, unemployment compensation in New Hampshire, vacation pay in Massachusetts, free rent, free oil, free cell phones, and let’s not forget a living wage, just to name a few. Entitlement spending is now the highest it has ever been, and it is not just a liberal or conservative issue. Both political parties share the blame in equal fashion.
