Really nice. It reminds me of the Budgetizer Tim (Hubbard) put
together back in 2010 and which he updated on the latest Economics
hackday:

The aim of this was to show deficit as predicted and as they actually happened.

Tip: switch to deficit (default is inflation) and set to whole period
to see the extraordinary mis-estimation of the impact of the financial
crisis.
