WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he will veto bills that don't freeze non-national security spending.
Obama on Wednesday told a joint session of Congress that he wants
a three-year stop for additional spending. Obama says Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security would be exempt under the
plan, which would begin next year.
Obama says his administration already has found $20 billion in savings next year. Even so, Obama says it's not enough.
He wants a commission to identify how to control skyrocketing spending. Obama says unless spending is controlled, financial markets and the nation's recovery will be threatened.
The Senate recently blocked that proposal.
