Because it shows how paltry these "cuts"are. It's not the republicans fault that Obama was offered the ability to spread it around and decided instead to inflict as much pain as possible. It shows that this government squeals like a pig even when their budget is going up.

But the graph itself doesn't "lie" ( like the administration has been lying about the effects, caught in it multiple times), it just is.
