"Conservatives" have been very successful in branding something working people pay into all their working lives as "entitlements". They they tied "entitlements" to "them darkies are taking all your shit". Rather odd, since the time these MAGA folks want to go back to is the era of affirmative action for whites. GI Bill, FHA loans, tax rates of the mid 1950s; go look at what those were. It was a period of investment into american society that mostly enhanced the economic condition of whites alone.
"Entitlements" were fine with everyone then.
What you argue for is the continued societal wealth extraction, concentration, and redistribution to the Wall Street/donor/"job creator" class.

Over 20% of the national debt is owned by the federal government. Over 10% is owned by the federal reserve that has to pay its profits to the federal government. As a result, a full third of the debt is an accounting allusion. 70% of the debt is held domestically, including that held by the government. It is held by insurance companies, retirement plans, college foundations, etc. We benefit from the debt domestically. The 30% held overseas is largely held by people who do it to generate dollars so they can have a steady supply to buy oil and trade with the US. There is no debt crisis.
Anyone who calls Medicare and SS "wasteful entitlements" are working for Russia.

Republicans always scream that government does not work
and then they get elected and prove it
the internets makes it much harder for their lies to stand
