Google "Paul Ryan budget" and "Catholic Bishops". It is the Romney-Ryan team that is supposed to fix the economy, and get the budget under control. The Paul Ryan budget does slash aid to the poor. The Roman Catholic bishops condemned this.
If you want to know why people assume this, it is because there is plenty evidence to believe such is what would happen. Even on this forum, those with an affinity for Romney/GOP/Libertarian keeps speaking of getting rid of welfare. It is part of the DNA on this side.
So, with all this, why wouldn't people think Romney won't slash welfare? After all, need to do something about the 47% moocher class that won't take responsibility for themselves, and expect such luxuries as food and shelter.
