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.

Rural Mail Subsidies
Reduce Rural Free Delivery of mail frequency: The cost for six day a week delivery in rural areas far exceeds the postage income, like the Junk mail. In fact the delivery of Junk Mail in rural areas doubles the subsidy. Two days a week should be adequate and I am sure the conservative do not want the government subsidy. If an important farm subsidy check is due on an non-mail delivery day then they can drive to some regional city post office to pick it up and stop by Walmart at the same time.
