I found a graph of "Total Assets of the Federal Reserve" somewhere. Wanted to know if I could get the same data from FRED, so I searched FRED and found two with that name. Only one line appears on the graph,
I kept the first one, then added GDP to the graph. but GDP didn't show up because it's given in billions, and the Assets are given in millions. So I divided the assets number by 1000 to convert millions to billions. Here's the graph I got:

I think the X-axis distances before 2002 got compressed. That's pretty strange.

Ohhh... The Assets data is "weekly" and the GDP data is "quarterly".
Yeah, that's it.
Funny glitch.
