Eliminate the Presidential Campaign Fund: $775 million savings over 10 years.
Eliminated programs include Head Start, career and technical education programs, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Worker Training Program, literacy programs for prisoners and the National Environmental Education Act.
End funding for the Community Development Fund: $4.5 billion.
