A Misleading Plot

Notice anything funny about this plot? Spoiler: the y-axis is irregular, exaggerating the vertical distance between +5% and +6% by 2×. Here’s the corrected chart. The difference may appear subtle, but we can see the exaggeration more precisely by overlaying the two charts. In effect, this distortion gives the appearance that the most recent value—the one presumably being celebrated by the administration—is % rather than +5.7%. This represents a lie factor of ×.
