Obama To Call For Freeze In Nonsecurity Government Spending

Posted By on January 25, 2011

Inquiring minds want to know how you can have growth with a spending freeze?   Right, you can’t!

Obama will call for a five-year freeze on nonsecurity discretionary spending in his State of the Union address “as a down payment toward reducing the deficit,” a White House official said.

The president will propose some new spending in certain areas that address the speech’s theme of “How We Win the Future”: innovation, education and infrastructure. But those increases will be proposed within the context of a proposed partial budget freeze.
