FY2008 - 2010 are actual values.

FY2011 is estimated*.

FY2012 is the President's budget.

FY2013 is projected.

*FY2011 ends Sep 30, 2011

Why these ranges are meaningful:

Change FY10 - 12 represents a comparison of the President's budget with the last FY that has actual values.



Change FY08 - 11 analyzes the reaction of budgets to the financial crisis. To many, FY2008 represents the last "normal" budget prior to the financial meltdown. FY2011 represents the most recent budget.



Change FY11 - 12 is inherently misleading because it compares the FY2012 budget to an estimated number.
