Normally to veto spending you have to veto the whole budget, or a major budget bill (something like vetoing the defense budget since you don't want some pork barrel spending added in by congress).

Also the majority of spending is under previously passed laws and is not subject to veto (it was when the laws where initially passed, but most of that spending was passed with FDR or LBJ as president).
