See, and to me, I think that "freezing" is better than "cutting" because it gives an evaluation period to determine the extent to which the bailout can eventually pay for itself through equity and interest (which is why it was good the first version of the bailout failed - it was by far the worst solution for the government actually earning on their money) without actually permanently losing out on any programs.
Of course, he didn't say that (mostly because he can't say that last sentence, even if it's true).
