not increases in discretionary spending

The issue is "spending" not "discretionary spending".

But even the discretionary spending increase is large, including the stimulus and bailout bills.

And a lot of the tax cuts in the stimulus bill are more like spending than tax cuts. Rates are not being cut, and decreasing the income tax BELOW zero is treated as an additional part of the tax cut rather than a government hand out.
