An in depth but good read on what, where, who, how and why... BUT don't forget the Republican's role in this train wreck... they, led by Bush, took us down this socialist road when they signed TARP, and the first bail-outs, the Dems are just increasing the speed.

Basically the entitlement process started with the creation of welfare in my opinion.
I think a lot of the situation has to do with the poor, down trodden gaining the victim label and the thought that they are owed something.
America used to stand for Can do. Self reliance and self pride. Now the main attitude is let the government pay me and let me get free housing, use tax payer money on cell phones and manicured nails.
We have lost our pride and self reliance. The feeling of a job well done when you actually made something, or fixed something. Welfare made this possible. We no longer try to become something. How many generations have grown up in the projects, it was not meant for generations to live there, it was a "heres a place to pull yourself together and get back on your feet and get out of here and back on the American Dream trail" temporary assist. Now welfare has become the American Dream. Once pple learn they can get paid for doing nothing, they stop trying to do anything and become dependent on the government. We have lost that pride and our soul.
Trading God for drugs and government money. Trading self respect for self entitlement. All administrations for a long time really bare the blame for this. Its not a new thing that only Obama came up with.
