The line graph provides information about the amount of expenditure spending on the U. S. government's academic activities over the 28-year course, from 1980 to 2008.
The initial impression from the chart is that Health dominated the investment for researching of U. S government whilst least amount of money was spent on studying General Science.
In 1980, around 7 billion was paid for Health relevant's study. Despite marginal decreasing from 1980 to 1984, the spending on researching Health regained the upwards streak during the next 20 years and hit its highest point at almost 22 billion in 2004. The figure thereafter underwent a slight drop to 18 billion in 2008. Expenditure of General Science started at 2. 5 billion, albeit some fluctuations, reach 5 billion in 2008.
Meanwhile, Space and Energy's expenditure grew with similar patterns, starting from 5 and 6 billion in 1980, staying constant from 1984 to 1992 before experiencing a rise of $7. 5 billion and $9 billion, respectively, in 2008. In contrast, other science, although being spent 7. 5 billion for in 2000, saw a drop of 5% in 2008.
