<<''On the government side, the president said he is seeking a $2 billion increase in the annual budget for the Department of Housing and Urban Development to help revitalize communities in urban and rural America. >>

<<Congressional Democrats have said Bush's budget actually cuts about $1.7 billion from HUD, including ending a program that funds security in public housing complexes and reducing spending on repairs.>>

So he's spending $2 billion MORE than $3.7 billion more. That's a decrease in spending? MORE being the word here.
