Please analyze the data based on the question and the graphs

What is the greatest expenditure? What is the least expenditure? How much money does the department/policy/program cost? Has that changed over time? What years do you see spikes or dips in the data? Does it stay steady over time? Do you have a guess for what caused the changes? Do you see differences between Democrat or Republican administrations?

1. Education, Training, Employment, and Social Services
2. Total Health
3. Medicare
4. Total Income Security
5. Social Security
6. Total Veteran Benefits and Services

Define the six spending categories. What trends do you see in each of the spending categories? How do they compare to one another?
