Now that the election is over, I have a challenge for the new Republican majority. If you are retired or nearing retirement, I challenge you, as fervent believers in smaller government, to "just say no" to your Social Security and Medicare.
If you truly are in the majority and if you truly have the courage to stand up for your beliefs, by turning down these two socialist programs you will reduce the size of two mammoth entitlements by over 50 percent. We can shrink the size of government without relying on Congress to do anything.
You will instantly reduce the deficit by a huge amount, be an example of real patriotism and no longer feel guilty about being a closet socialist. So, stand up and do the right thing for yourselves and your country. You can do it!
