3. What issue does it deal with? Congressional spending and the national debt
4. What is the cartoon's message? The cartoon's message is that despite being "through the roof" in debt, Congress (especially Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, who are depicted in the cartoon) continues to borrow money. The cartoon suggests that liberals in Congress disregard any kind of limit on the amount of debt we can go into.
5. Do you agree with the cartoon's message? I strongly agree with the cartoon's message. So far, the Obama administration and Congress has been nothing short of irresponsible when it comes to the federal budget. It is as if these lawmakers think we can keep spending money we don't have with no repercussions. The spending has almost gotten to the point that not just my generation but many after mine will be fighting this debt.
