GOP Smaller Government Is To Get Rid of Social Security and Medicare

All those in Republican Party seeking the office of the president, whether it is Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich or Ron Paul are all in a consensus of bringing in a smaller government.

The type of smaller government they are talking about is aimed at those who can afford less abide with a smaller government, particularly seniors. Recently, it was quoted that Ron Paul said that disaster relief should be abolished and victims of natural disaster should find a way to help themselves get back on their feet. The Ohio Governor Kasich agreed with those sentiments exactly and when a disaster struck Ohio, the Governor not only said they did not need financial assistance from the Federal Government, he refused it.

This smaller government means eliminating social security and medicare. Seniors are almost always unaware that this euphemistic phrase is aimed at them, but the GOP nice way of saying "we are going to destroy social security and medicare" is to say we need small government, we spend to much. To the GOP it is a give-a-way and their austerity plan is to eliminate it all together.
