Your graph shows spending in constant 2009 dollars, just as mine shows spending in constant 2015 dollars, so your comment makes no sense.

They are literally presenting the same information, just pegging inflation to different years.

Huh you’re right about that. For some reason your heritage chart makes it look a lot more reasonable, which I don’t agree that it is. I’m guessing it has something to with comparing to GDP?
