Took a few pages Dan but I finally got you over to my side. Facts my boy Facts, that is exactly what we are looking for here!!!!!!!!!! Facts equate to transparency and accountability, which in turn leads us to solutions that benefit us all!!!!

Now lets move on to entitlement. Why is it termed an entitlement for me and my old cronies to expect the Government to live up to their role. Does tradition and integrity go out the door for us because of our baby boomer status. Do we need a gazillion lawyers to interpret every single things that arises? Are there some things in life that just go without saying? Why is it not an entitlement for your children to fish for free? Why is it not an entitlement that thousands of my dollars go to make sure your children have a good school to attend. Why do I have to pay so your children are entitled to a college supported by my tax dollars. This list could go on and on. My point is why are we the baby boomers being labeled as entitled. Perhaps we are the only generation left that has followed our forefathers thinking of take care of those who went before you and of those who come after you but do not go forth blindly. Dan why is it not an entitlement to give our disabled vets a free fishing license? It is an entitlement!! My generation doesn't ask why because it is tradition, and integrity leading the charge on this. For the same reasons I am not opposed to your children getting an entitlement from MY MONEY, it is the right thing to do!! I am also a Veteran of a conflict. Because the good lord looked out for me and maybe just plain dumb luck I am not disabled. Would you wish and think that it would have been okay for me to get a free license if I had been disabled? No, i thought not. All we are asking for is some facts before we dump anymore money into a broken system. Lets get some facts and then and only then lets try to reach some common ground on fixing a broken system that many of us love and don't want to see fail. You yourself have finally asked for some facts so i am assuming you are not ready to just throw some group to the wolves on unsubstantiated facts.
