Senator Reid is wrong, entitlement cuts should not be off the table!!!
I can think of plenty of entitlements that we can cut
Farm subsidies to people who don't actually own farms or are large corporate run farms
Subsidies to the oil and gas companies
Tax subsidies to large multi-national corporations that play with the books to write off any U.S. earned profits allowing them to pay no taxes or get a refund
Subsidies on the 1% by capping the maximum contribution to Social Security
I'm sure that I'm forgetting a few more entitlements that we can cut so feel free to add them below.
