Why doesn't all this talk of entitlement reform include proposals to increase benefits...

Given the current financial state of our lower classes, disabled, elderly, and underemployed?

Why does the entire convo revolve around reducing much needed assistance and other such fuckery?

The case could be made for improving the benefits we offer. We bailed the banks out. Why not help each other?

I'd like a more fair and balanced discussion, Washington.
