Entitlements

According to Nicholas Eberstadt of the Wall Street Journal (Saturday, 9/1/12--Review Section), Republicans talk the talk, but never walk the walk.

He states that under Republican presidents, entitlements have soared at least eight percent: "...in any given year (over the last fifty), it (entitlements) was on the whole roughly eight percent higher if the president happened to be a Republican rather than a Democrat."

More: "From a purely statistical standpoint, the growth of entitlements over the past half-century has been distinctly greater under Republican administrations than Democratic ones."
