When showing fiscal budgets over time, its a good idea to adjust for inflation to ensure apples to apples comparisons of spending. I looked through your code and didn't see any evidence that you were doing so.
A straightforward way to do this is to take the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and multiply your data by it for each year.
