The increase is about 2%, or the rate of inflation. Not sure why they are calling that significant. Sounds like they are being hysterical, which is why BF2 is right on board with them.
Of course, I'd go way further than a 10% decrease.

Sorry you didn't get the significant military increases you supported

Good clip.
He's calling for a reduced military budget. I applaud.

Yogi presented misinformation (being charitable, he presented hyperbole) and I called him out on it so he is trying to change the subject.
The reality is, my Presidential candidate (Biden) has requested a small increase in defense at the rate of inflation. Yogi's candidate (Trump) would have requested a "significant" increase well above inflation.
Anyone that says that Trump was "my candidate" has no standing to accuse someone else of misinformation. But then, nobody regards you as a serious person so it's of little importance if you are a liar. Nobody expects more out of you.
If you want to be taken seriously as a critic of the Constitution though, you might want to work on your contractions. People that can't master contractions probably won't get much respect when dissecting the appropriate roles of the legislative and judiciary branches.
