How to use entitlement in a sentence?

1. Vasundhara Sirnate:

   There's a sense of entitlement with which former royals went into the political process. They knew that if they lose an election... it hurts their traditional authority.

2. South Carolina:

   What was intended to be a short-term financial assistance for the vulnerable and displaced during the height of the pandemic has turned into a dangerous federal entitlement, incentivizing and paying workers to stay at home rather than encouraging them to return to the workplace.

3. Paul Ryan:

   He’s exactly right, but the defense budget is not the problem. Discretionary spending is not the problem. It is growing the economy and getting entitlement reform.

4. Ruy Teixeira:

   The chink in the armor [ for Republicans ], such as it is, there is a conflict between these [ blue-collar and rural ] voters' views of the rich and powerful in general and their views of entitlement programs and the way Republicans really do approach policy, if [ Democrats ] can convince more people that it's a really top priority to help you and your community, they would look the other way on some of their cultural conservative views. But until and unless you can make that case in a way that is convincing to a lot of these people, I don't think they are going to change.

5. Paul Ryan:

   We're going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform, which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit.
