If you use the + and - buttons to change your budget, the extra cost or savings doesn't update your daily money supply. If you set all your expenses to 0 using the slider, and then set them all to 100% using the + symbol, you end up getting them for free.

Example
1. Set all your expenses to the minimum using the slider bars.
2. Mouse-over the $ symbol in the header and check your expenses deduction. It should be $0.00
3. Using the + symbol next to the slider bar, set your civil expenses to max
4. Mouse over the $ again. Expenses should have gone up, but it is still $0.00
5. Using your mouse, move the slider to set you military expenses to max
6. Now if you mouse over the $ symbol your expenses will have updated, and you will be paying for both civil upkeep and Military

Workaround
Always use the sliders to change your expenses.

Confirmed and reported as bug #778.

You are not getting your expenses paid for free because it does not update your changes using the + and - buttons until you leave the production screen.
