It's language war. Entitlement spending is a great way to negatively frame social security.

To be clear, the money I'm paying into Social Security today is being consumed by current Social Security recipients.

It is not being set aside for me to use when I theoretically begin to draw Social Security in the future.

Well, now I understand why all those pesky employees of mine feel so entitled to getting their paychecks. It must be because they're millennials or something...
I'm not certain... My first job as a programmer my boss use to bust my balls and joke that I must not care about getting paid because I often let my checks pile up before asking for them... (and I wasn't exactly flush with cash from another source...)
