Gee, looks a lot like a graph any college graduate should be able to understand.

If the graph was public approval numbers or campaign contributions, or even national debt, etc. I guarantee that Congressmen would be able to read that graph like 'a book.'

What irks me no end is that the federal government spends billions of dollars each year collecting data on weather, population, housing, employment, health care, agriculture, etc. etc. and politicians will not use them, instead simply talking their pre-conceived talking points.
