1. So true.

The disappointment with this President is almost unspeakable.

[bravenak]

2. It makes me sad. Taking from the vulnerable.

I know it won't pass. The fact that he wants this budget makes me feel sick to my stomach.
The elderly are barely surviving on what they get now. My 86 year old gramother is pissed!

3. K&R

4. I feel so sick.

[bigtree]

5. so, this thing has a chance of passing then? Seniors at risk from this budget proposal?

. . . bullshit. I don't believe it. How will 'chained cpi' get to the Senate floor for a debate, or for a vote? How will it get past the Democratic caucus?

Do you suppose the President has some secret plan that'll ram chained cpi past Senate Democrats?

Humor and cartoons are funniest when they ring true. The premise behind this one is just pure bullshit.

[progressoid]

6. You're reading a lot into it.

Where in the cartoon do you see anything about the Senate or the Democratic Caucus?

7. Larger more readable version:

Change the "thumb" part of the URL to "image":

8. Even enlarging didn't help me...I don't get it.

What am I missing?

9. Trench warfare in World War One or Iran-Iraq war: human waves = shot to bits by the cannon. nt
