When is the last time entitlement spending went down in aggregate? Any 'cuts' I've seen have been merely been reducing the rate of automatic growth. Clarification Edit: You made the assertion that entitlement spending is being cut by the influence of the 1%. I'm asking for where this has been the case. Vague allusions to population growth, college costs and inflation aren't sufficient. Growing college costs could even be indicative of an increase in entitlements.
