I would love to see this happen. But our current leader is not in to saving money. He's into wasteful spending.

Congress passes laws, not the president. If it were to get passed, against the lobbying efforts of the paper and ink industries and god knows who else I doubt Obama would veto. I'm doubtful congress could agree on anything unfortunately. They would need a powerful senator to attach it to a defense appropriation bill or something.
