With the commencing date of fiscal year walking closure, President Barack Obama presented an impressive budget proposal which would cut down on domestic program spending and bringing an end to those which are outmoded. Including such 120 items in the list, it is estimated to save a huge amount of $20 billion for the coming year.

One of the most talked about proposal is the elimination of “Advanced Earned Income Tax Credit” which gave back a portion of tax credit every month to the eligible taxpayers with children. According to White House statements, only 3 percent of the deserving candidates, which counted to approximately 514,000 people, claimed their credit thus marking this program with a high error rate. Therefore, due to the ineffectiveness and being stuck by huge error, this program was eradicated for the coming fiscal year.

Apart from this one, other major change would affect the Department of Education whose 38 programs would be cut short to only 11 due to their inefficiencies and higher financial dependability on state and school districts programs.

Thus, this coming year will see a new budget all together which would of-course be most awaited by the critics.

He even faced huge criticism for being named as winner of Nobel Peace Prize beside the ongoing war with Afghanistan and Iraq.

However, he has contributed in the country’s environmental policies and has taken many major decisions to expand the research and production of alternative energies. And taking a step further, the first lady of the house, developed an idealized version of homesteading by planting garden on White House lawn with help of local students. He even expanded the program to increase funding for successful academic programs in a way to promote science and development in the respective field.
