The President Barack Obama budget includes a $6 billion investment in clean energy technologies, a $100 billion job package along with a $3 billion increase in elementary and Secondary Education spending for public schools.

The budget proposal by President Barack Obama can also face rough weather on any possible job cuts it could lead to, at a time when unemployment is around 10 per cent. The cancellation of a NASA program to send astronauts on the moon can be picked up in this regard, as it might lead to layoffs.

The issue of the three year freeze on non military discretionary spending has also called up some storm, as many like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi feel that this freeze should be extended to some military programs too. Then there are those who believe that military spending and in a larger persepective, national security should not be cut down.

The freeze, as per President Barack Obama administration, is expectefd to save $250 billion over the next decade, but this won't be enough to bring down the financial deficit to an acceptable, sustainable level.
