I'll believe it when I see it. I think he may be saying it, knowing that it will never pass but he'll get credit for it anyway. Sorta of conversely analogous to the process by which the Campaign Finance bill passed.

Bush to propose spending freeze - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics

President Bush will propose an increase of less than 1 percent for federal programs not related to defense or homeland security, effectively freezing discretionary spending in the next budget, after coming under fire from conservatives to control runaway spending.
But the president will propose increasing governmentwide homeland security funding by 9.7 percent in the fiscal 2005 budget, and the military budget is expected to increase by a small amount.
