Looking for Waste (and News) in all the Wrong Places

Reading the paper from the back pages to the front has been quite a revelation to me the past couple of days. Two days ago the ABA article about filing suit against the Bush administration concerning the constitutionality of signing statements was on the last page of the first section in the Wisconsin State Journal.
Today, an article, in the WSJ reported that $12 billion in Federal funds meant for small businesses went to corporate giants. (Find the article here. WSJ not found electronically but can be found on C8 in the paper.) The corporate giants mentioned should not come as a great surprise. As stated in the article, Microsoft raked in $1.5 million, Rolls-Royce $2.2 million, Wal-Mart $14,232 and Exxon Mobil $63,855. Obviously these are not companies that need federal help.
Although Wal-Mart's amount here is not particularly large, couple this with the widely reported Wal-Mart employee usage of the BadgerCare low income health insurance program here, here, or here.
It seems that corporate welfare continues unabated. If we are serious about cutting the fat from government, I have a suggestion on where to start.
