Does a spending freeze include trillion dollar bailouts &Healthcare reform?
President Obama plans to announce a three-year freeze on discretionary,“non-security” spending in the lead-up Wednesday’s State of the Union address,Hill Democratic sources familiar with the plan tell POLITICO.
The move,intended to blunt the populist backlash against Obama’s $787 billion stimulus and an era of trillion-dollar deficits —and to quell Democratic anxiety over last Tuesday’s Massachusetts Senate election —is projected to save $250 billion,the Democrats said.
The freeze would not apply to defense spending or spending on intelligence,homeland security or veterans.
The proposal is in line with a plan floated by Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.),a fiscal hawk,who told Bloomberg’s Al Hunt last week that there was a “fighting chance” Obama would propose a freeze in most discretionary spending by the federal government as part of his address.
“The president can say in this State of the Union address,‘I’m going to include in my budget a freeze on discretionary spending,I’m drawing a line in the sand,and I’m going to use my veto pen to enforce that,’” Bayh said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s Political Capital with Al Hunt.
"Spending freeze"? He is the one who has been doing all the spending. Isn't that funny.

he's a decietful dishonorable liar!! Not only is he NOT pulling back on spending this so called "freeze"is only in very small select areas but the most deceitful of all is the fact that when he first came into office he raises budgets by as much as 20% son now when he "freeezes"the spending the budgets are already way beyond what they would have been typically under regular budget hikes to keep up with inflation…the fact that he now freezes these budgets at the much higher level actually represents a road block for spedning rooll back if 2010 should return power to the fiscally responsible congress (I know that is an oxymoron right now!)…this guy is just a damned liar and this IS STILL CHICAGO STYLE POLITICS!
