Is this what you're talking about? WASHINGTON — The White House has identified 12,218 properties the federal government no longer needs, but the administration says Congress must act to reach the $15 billion President Obama hopes to save in three years by dumping unneeded property.

That does look familiar, not 100% sure that was the list I seen.... but the figures match.....
Three years to save a measley $15 billion? BULL SHIT! GET SERIOUS, you bunch of teet sucking parasites! Texas alone (this year) has blood sucking expenditures (welfare/FS/Medical/housing/incarceration, amounting to almost $9 billion, get rid of those, just for a start. Illegal Aliens costs U.S. taxpayers about $113 billion a year at the federal, state and local level… The annual outlay that illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers is an average amount per native-headed household of $1,117... Education for the children of illegal aliens constitutes the single largest cost to taxpayers, at an annual price tag of nearly $52 billion... California faced a budget deficit of $14.4 billion in 2010-2011, hit with an estimated $21.8 billion in annual expenditures on illegal aliens. New York's $6.8 billion deficit is smaller than its $9.5 billion in yearly illegal alien costs. But more than likely, the black plague sitting at the WH will probably sell off, or give away, more US soil to foreigners, and raise taxes to cover their losses...JMHO!
