The cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were never in the budget.
Good Lord, do you understand that budget doesn't mean spending? Budgets are a guideline not actual dollars spent. Every dollar for the wars is included in the yearly deficits. You are right, they weren't part of the budget but they WERE PART OF THE DEFICIT.
