New Congressional Research Report Outlines Issues with HUD/Transportation FY 2008 Appropriations.

A "must read" , HERE.
Includes comparison with FY 2007 appropriation levels.

From the summary:
"The Bush administration requested $100.3 billion (after scorekeeping adjustments) for FY2008, an increase of $300 million (less than 1%) over FY2007. DOT would receive $64.5 billion, $1.3 billion more than provided in FY2007. HUD would receive $35.6 billion, $1.0 billion less than provided in FY2007.

The FY2008 THUD appropriations bill, follows both the House- and Senate-passed versions of the bill in recommending more funding for both DOT and HUD than requested by the Administration. The agreement recommends $105.8 billion (after rescissions and other adjustments), $6.2 billion more than the FY2007 enacted funding level, and $5.5 billion over the Administration's budget request. Within that total, the agreement recommends $66.7 billion for DOT and $38.8 billion for HUD."
