Indeed it does. Down the page you see this graph

Which suggest that any 'explosion' in spending happened sometime in the mid-1990s.

Though of course as that link admits the comparisons are imprecise as the numbers aren't directly comparable and are almost certainly incomplete. Still not as inaccurate or misleading as the graph you put in the first post though. ;)

EDIT - Sorry for the graph size, it was smaller when I was typing this.

Hm, fair point -- though it does look like 1996 might have been an outlier; put aside obviously event driven splurge in the 2002 midterms, and it would be unmatched until 2008...
