It also wouldn't affect a 154 billion jobs plan pending before Congress and backed by Obama, the officials said. One aide said that plan would be exempt because it would take effect this year, before the freeze.
Administration officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to not upstage the president, said that the three-year freeze would save $250 billion over a decade ? if it's approved by an election-year Congress.
After three years, the total spent would be the lowest as a percentage of the total economy in 50 years. Spending on those agencies has increased by an average of 5 percent a year since 1993, the officials said."
Dang, not bad after 3 years... looks like Obama - within reason - is freezing spending. Of course knowing that a total freeze would gridlock our Country.

He did propose a spending freeze exactly 1 week ago, as a trick to then increase spending in the meantime... old politicians trick knowing his fat cats wouldn't do it anyways.
He's just as bad as bush and you are as bad as any "bushee" was, love watching all the anti-bush people act like old bushee's defending their guy with the same ridiculous logic the bushees used.
The only way he's helping create jobs is by hiring more people to work in his bloated govt' and then create new segments of gov' to hire even more people, and apply that on a state and local govt levels for the win.
