Obama to call for 5 year spending freeze.
^The move is almost identical to the freeze Obama called for in his address to the nation last year at this time — his current proposal would cover five years, not three years — and ultimately it may have little effect. Congress decides the budget on its own terms, and Obama has even less sway than he did in his first two years on the job now that Republicans have taken control of the House.^

Last year the House and Senate were controlled by the Dems.
Doubtful the Republican controlled House will be the ones throwing up roadblocks to Obama's proposal.
