Its the usual type of statement about government spending where a decrease from the projected future spending that's still an increase from current and recent past levels of spending is called a decrease.

Social programs get calculated/talked about this way even more than the military.

You can have very large increases of spending, with people still talking about how programs are getting slashed.
