Smaller government? Don't take Social Security. IF you lose your job, don't take unemployment. If you become disabled, don't apply for Social Security or any kind of State disablity. If you're a miner, or an oil worker, or someone in a very dangerous job, don't worry, without all those regulations, you'll lose your lungs or eyesight, or a limb soon---and remember, there won't be any backup for your either. Don't expect to breath clean air! Don't expect to have clean water. Don't expect anything at all except what you can get for you and yours. That's what the tea party will bring us with their idea of "smaller government." Sad
