And a corresponding legal obligation to provide the entitlement. Entitlement was initially used to distinguish social security and Medicare, funds into which nearly all Americans contributed and received, from other social programs which were part of the Great Society.
Right wingers now insinuate that entitlement to mean give undeserving people free stuff instead of giving people earned benefits to which they are legally entitled.
