The "hard decisions" always involve diverting funds from people to the Empire.

"Entitlements", taking care of people, is regarded as superfluous by Conservatives. What is important is taking care of the Empire, including corporations, fighting war with and without a cause, and "security".

"Entitlements" are the first and highest calling of a society. If that society cannot provide opportunity due to the deliberate destruction of the middle-class it must provide those services some other way.

If they can't earn health care, for instance, it must be provided. Same with education, etc.

They need to get it through there heads that the "hard choices" need to be the military, corporate welfare, tax breaks for the super wealthy.

Not breakfast and lunch for school kids.
