I really don't like the graphs / diagrams in that article. I feel they need units on the graphs.

And figure 2. is based on data from 2007

And figure 3. is comparing very different things on the same diagram.

If this were an undergraduate project I would not give it a pass.

In Figure 3, what are the units of the vertical axis???

a) Million Dollars? Billions? Trillions?

b) Idem

c) Percent of the population? Is .6 on the left a 60% of the population or .6% of the population?

d) Percent of the welfare budget? Is .6 on the left a 60% of the budget or .6% of the budget?
