“Poverty is the worst form of violence.” - Mahatma Gandhi. Through entitlement programs, poverty, an issue that has plagued America for more than a century is being successfully fought but some deem entitlement programs not as well needed measures to protect the poor but as a hindrance to the very people it tries to help. Entitlement programs are a necessary and important part of American life because they improve the quality of life, create a more stable government, and improve America as a nation.
