Abstract
- The article focuses on Congressmen who favor cuts in the federal budget but argues about downsizing proposals in their districts. It mentions the plan of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack to close 259 U.S. postal offices including the Farm Service Agency. It also notes several lawmakers protesting that closures can lead to more difficulties for farmers to access services of USDA including Senators Mark Pryor, Kirsten Gillibrand and Sherrod Brown.
