I had mentioned in another reply that they are still writing out the details so that is where the devil is.

But freezing spending at current levels is a common thing. I think some of the frustration has been that with the GOP, this "freezing" almost always happens with "domestic spending" vs "military spending". HOWEVER, we have actually been doing quite a bit of funding for Ukraine in terms of military assistance for equipment, etc, so...

It's definitely NOT going to be that mess they passed last month which would have been DOA in the Senate anyway.
