Answer 1. In the image above, it is given automatic expenditures that are consuming a growing share of the budget. According to the question that followed, in 1968, the mandatory spending is 28% whereas net interest is 6% and discretionary is 66%. Hence, the percentage of the budget that was mandatory spending in 1968 is 28%. Answer 2. A change over time in the pie charts is that the percentage of the budget that was mandatory spending in 1968 will constantly increased from 28% to 64% by year 2028. The percentage of the mandatory spending budget has increased from 28% in year 1968 to 48% in year 1993. This resulted in fluctuations in net interest rates over the years. This can be seen through the pie charts clearly that says 6% net interest in 1968, 14% in 1993, 8% in 2018 and will be increased to 13% in 2028 automatically. All these changes resulted in overall changes in discretionary budget that has reduced over the years from 66% in year 1968 to 23% in the upcoming year 2028 automatically.
