You have to look at the definition of "entitlement" to understand the meaning:

Definition of ENTITLEMENT


1)a: the state or condition of being entitled : right

b: a right to benefits specified especially by law or contract

2): a government program providing benefits to members of a specified group; also: funds supporting or distributed by such a program


3): belief that one is deserving of or entitled to certain privileges

------------------------------------
You should try to understand that we pay for those who use these entitlements because we want people to use them.

We don't have an 'entitlement' for warfare'.
If that were so, if waging war for defense of the Nation was a defined tax that each individual payed,
would you confine that?

Sequester does that.
