Budget Cuts



This cartoon was llustrated y Chuck Asay. This toon shows people coming to and from planned parenthood. The artist was oviously biased to cuts that included cutting the program because it shows people crying instead of showing them with looks of satisfaction. the theme is simple "I know we need to cut government spending...but where?" The program costs about 350 million dollars. The artist feels this could be cut, rather than probing the defense budget or elderly prorgrmas. The way it is illustrated here, the prorgram is useless yet waste of money.

The Evolution of Trump



This political toon named "The Evolution of Candidate Donald Trump," was created by Daryl Cagle from MSNBC. This toon depicts who we once thought of as a genius when it came to making money and handling business shrinking down to a mere animal (monkey, mouse?). During his verbal attacks he accused Obama of not being a legal citizen of America and continues to play the same card that ask where his birth certificate is. at this rate, Trump's one-not trumpet will cost him in a mjor way if he sincerely plans to run for president.

Democracy Mummy



This toon shows an archeologist coming across a body-- the body of democracy in Libya.
Democracy in Egypt has not only already died; it was mummified years ago and has now crumbled to dust. Presumably, the street protests were completely useless. The cartoon is a symbol of what was thought to be a useless cause. For so many years, Egypt was without a democracy; rioting proabably wouldn't have done much to change things. Even if they got their way, would they know how to live in a democratic system?
