I’ll be a work during the SOTU tonight, but I’ll still be listening for this.
Bush to Call for Near-Freeze in Spending
President Bush will call for a near-freeze in the overall growth of government spending not connected to national defense to try to rein in record deficits, a senior administration official said on Tuesday.
Bush will make the proposal in Wednesday’s State of the Union address, previewing the fiscal 2006 budget he will send to Congress next Monday.
A senior administration official pointed to Congress’ approval last year of a 0.8 percent cap in non-defense, non-homeland security discretionary spending, and said Bush “will articulate a similar type of goal or principle, which his budget will adhere to.”
Four years too late, but I’ll take it however I can get it.
