Perhaps we could cut back on entitlements , too. That would bring bigger savings and help with the governmental fiscal responsibility thing. Lower debt would let people keep more of their money to spend on making their lives better.

Entitlements are exactly that. You, the taxpayer, paid for them, you are entitled to use them. How about we cut the things we pay for but aren't entitled to use, like the military.
Fun thing about "personal fiscal responsibility" is that almost everyone preaching about it when talking about entitlements have either never been poor in their lives or are grifters looking for acceptance from those who have never been poor in their lives.
The point is to make life easier for people, not harder.
