When numbers get that high, I guess I'm no smarter than Congress. I thought about a second step chart to show spending, or adding a second series to the first step chart. It would be very messy, though. For the allotments, there is a vertical step because the allocation is made in one moment, while the actual payments are spread out over time. I doubt anyone even knows what this looks like. Hi Zhiriu -

I like the step chart, but I'm not sure how you'd indicate what has already been spent. You could add a second step, but it wouldn't tell you which pot o' money it came from. Maybe "% spent" labels after each bailout? One question... Are you sure the axis is in trillions? It looks like billions because you have the ",000" on each number. Looks good, Jon.

I really like that step chart at the end. Very informative to see both the magnitudes and timing in the chart. Agreed, nice job Jon. I really like that step chart at the end.
