The idea of budget cutting is in the air. The situation is similar to the Obama victory where the Liberals had great expectations for initiatives such a medical care reform, banking reform and additional environmental legislation.

Today the situation is reversed: the Republicans and Tea Party expect significant cuts in government programs.

However, there are are a great many subsidy programs that benefit the rich or have negative impact on the environment.

Government Staff Support To Counties

Get rid of County Extension agents and their offices: These are offices and staff that provide extension services to farmers.
