Entitlements
Random Thought: At what point did it become okay to refer to government subsidy programs as “entitlements”? It’s scary that it’s moving up in the definition list! Apparently the third definition has a lot to do with the second definition getting out of control…
Primary Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of “entitlement”: The state or condition of being entitled.
Secondary Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of “entitlement”: A government program providing benefits to a specified group.
Third Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of “entitlement”: The belief that one is deserving of or entitled to certain privileges.
