Spent vs. Results
Spent vs. Results
What government spent on a problem, next to what happened to the problem. Same place, same years, every line from a public source. Spending is on top, the result is underneath, and you can judge the gap.

Spending next to a result isn't proof the spending caused it. Rents, the economy and the pandemic move these numbers too, and each comparison says so where it matters. The point is to show what was spent and what happened, side by side.
