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.
