Ya know, it has always bothered me to hear SS referred to as an entitlement (to something that one has no right to and does not deserve.) SS is defined in laws and when one satisfies certain requirements one qualifies and is entitled to benefits determined by formulas set forth in more laws. No largesse, no personal input from the SSA employee; it’s just the law!

Was it the Cheshire Cat who asked: “Are you a good entitlement or a bad entitlement?”
