The graph below gives information about U. S. government spending on research between 1980 and 2008. m19kN
The line graph compares the expenditure, measured in billions of dollars, spent on different research fields by the US government from 1980 to 2008. Overall, the spending on all kinds of research, except for other areas, increased marginally over the period, and health received not only the most funding throughout but also had the largest increase. For the overall leader health, approximately 8 billion dollars was disbursed in 1980. This investment dipped to around 6 billion dollars before rising to a peak of about 21 billion dollars in 2004, followed by a slight drop in the final four years of the period. In contrast, General Science was the least prioritized field of research in the US throughout the recorded period receiving an unchanged amount of only 2. 5 million dollars from 1980 to 1994, followed by a steady growth that doubled investment to 6 million dollars in 2008. Governmental expenses on Space, Energy and other fields fluctuated over the given period. The amount allocated for Energy studies reached a peak at around 8 billion dollars in 1997, before fluctuating and ending up at 7 billion. Space witnessed a similar upward pattern with fluctuations, finally settling at 9 billion dollars. Other was the only remaining field and though it was erratic throughout the period by the end, investment was largely unchanged at around 6 billion dollars.
