I can consider an entitlement any time the government is said to “owe” people or organizations and can’t be undone. Everything from government bureaucratic positions, NPR/Pbs funding, corporate welfare, agricultural subsidies (redundant in most cases with corporate welfare), all funding of NGO’s, welfare and anyone who gets a check from Uncle Sam that didn’t involve doing any work in that pay period. (BTW, Medicare, Medicaid and SS are entitlements when you have gotten more out than you paid in).
At the point you want others to pay for your stuff, its an entitlement (heck most government JOBS could be called entitlements under my definition, lol)
Hmm ~ your check is no longer in the mail.
Oh, yeah, when you make a forced loan to Uncle Sam and he doesn’t pay any interest on it, that’s terminal fascism.
