(CNSNews.com) - Since 2007, when the Democrats regained control of Congress, budgetary outlays for 12 of the 15 Cabinet-level federal governmental departments have increased in almost straight-line fashion – in several case substantially. But for all departments, outlays for Fiscal Year 2010 are higher than FY07 or in FY08.

The Democratic Congress passed its first budget -- for FY08 – in 2007. Since then, expenditures have gone up for virtually every department, according to statistics provided by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

Outlays for the Department of Agriculture, for example, experienced a significant increase throughout the past four fiscal years, going from $84.4 billion in FY07 to $90.8 billion in FY08 to $142 billion in FY10 -- a 68 percent increase over the four fiscal years.

Spending has not increased in a straight line for every department, with spending for three departments -- Interior, Education and Treasury -- varying over the period. But in all cases, outlays for FY10 are higher than for FY07 and FY08.

The outlay for the Interior Department, for instance, went from $10.5 billion in FY07 down to $9.8 billion in FY08, but nevertheless grew to more than $12 billion for FY10.

The total budget for the Department of Education in FY07 was $66.4 billion. In FY09, it dropped to $53.4 billion before doubling in FY10 to $106.9 billion -- the highest amount ever granted to the Department of Education.

The Treasury Department outlay, meanwhile, went from $490.6 billion in FY07 to 548.8 billion in FY08 to 701billion in FY09, then back down to $502.9 billion in FY10.

The largest increase belongs to the Department of Labor which went from $47.5 billion in FY07 to $209.3 billion in FY10 – a 340 percent increase.
