"The president talks like someone who recognizes that spending is out of control, but so far it hasn't been matched with action," McConnell said in a statement.
"Americans don't want a spending freeze at unsustainable levels. They want cuts, dramatic cuts. And I hope the president will work with us on achieving them soon."
