If we switch from % to absolute terms you can see it is almost always up and to the right.

If the US never cuts defense spending, how did it go from 752 billion in 2011 to 633 billion in 2015?

I did say “almost always” goes up and the to right.

Look at the graph. Sometimes there may be year over year decreases, but the trend is very firmly up and to the right.
