1. I can't find anything about a spending freeze here?

That was supposed to be an important part of the speech, wasn't it?

2. Here

So tonight, I'm proposing specific steps to pay for the $1 trillion that it took to rescue the economy last year.

Starting in 2011, we are prepared to freeze government spending for three years. Spending related to our national security, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security will not be affected, but all other discretionary government programs will.

Like any cash-strapped family, we will work within a budget to invest in what we need and sacrifice what we don't. And if I have to enforce this discipline by veto, I will.

3. Thanks, I checked another transcript

that probably wasn't complete.
