Assignment:

Why are entitlements for the elderly not met with the same resistance as entitlements for the young? Or why do politicians periodically try to tackle "entitlements" that they state Medicare and Social Security payments are? Any ideas as to why this falls flat every time?

Our country's demographics are changing - what might this mean as our elderly become much more diverse?
