Is the chart meant to compare Reagan/GWB budget submissions, or actual Reagan year congressional spending/GWB budget submissions, or some hybrid? That wasn't clear from the labelling.

I didn't say that I didn't "like" the chart, just that I think a %-change between Carter/Reagan and Clinton/GWB would yield meaningless statistics, at this level.
