WASHINGTON -- A senior White House official says the president is recommending eliminating or cutting 121 programs to produce $17 billion worth of budget savings.
Some of the cuts in President Obama's budget are sure to rankle lawmakers, such as the elimination of a program that gives money to states to help defray the cost of incarcerating illegal immigrants who commit crimes.
A House Democratic official says about half the savings would come from the Pentagon budget.

What is he going to do with the illegal criminals?
Give them a welfare check, food stamps and free health care. Or find a job for them in his cabinet. They'll fit right in.

he should eliminate all funding for the White House. That would be consistent with his vision to spend money on everything that the constitution is against and cut money for everything that the constitution is for.

17 billion out of over 1000 billion. BS! 1000 billion? It is more like 4000 billion, right?!

What stupidity! He spends trillions and then thinks he should get accolades/praise when he “saves” a mere $17 billion. I believe elected officials only look at the number (”17” in this case) and totally ignore the number of zeroes behind it. So in their perverted minds, $100 million is a lot more than $1 trillion.
