Let's get real, either create jobs to get people off entitlement, working, and supporting themselves, or be forced to keep social programs going, you can't have your cake and eat it too! We can't just cut off millions of people and say it is OK, it's not OK, we are a socially dependent species, we must act and take responsibility.
