Talk:Entitlement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would like to see the history of this word as it was not to long ago this word had to do with the expected extras given to nobility. Now it has changed to be thought of as nothing more than payments by the government. Getting into Yale because your daddy went there is an entitlement. Adequate medical care is a right. -QuestioningAuthority

[edit] Johnson Administration??

One sentence, that entitlement began during the Johnson administration, is irrelevant and untrue. This article concerns the legal concept of entitlement in the abstract, not specific entitlement programs. It does not cover Medicare, Social Security, or other specific programs commonly referred to as entitlements. Many entitlement programs began before Johnson in any case. I am deleting. --Bridgecross (talk) 21:53, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
