My biggest gripe is that people whine about government entitlements, but then the very same people are the first in line demanding their entitlements. Conservatives whine about the system being a failure, yet they want to do nothing to save it, and they still want their handout that they feel they have coming. They can't have their cake and eat it too. Either they have to be willing to sacrifice some of their entitled benefits, or pay more taxes, or abolish the system and declare all benefits null-and-void, even the ones they think are rightfully 'theirs'.
