Problem #1: Your year 2000 link also lacks a methodology. So, using your "throw it out without a methodology" criteria, we can't use it.
Problem #2: one "2000 Inflation Adjusted Dollar" does not equal one "2005 Inflation Adjusted Dollar". Confusing, I know. You need charts based on the same year's inflation-adjusted dollar.
