I've seen charts like this trying to make various points. Sometimes they chart who controls Congress vs. the economy (since Congress controls spending).
I can't imagine that there's any meaning to any of it. It's not as if either party has had a consistent economic message over the time represented by the graph. JFK's economic policies were not at all like Obama's. Nixon's economic policies were not at all like Bush's.
