- The name of the cartoon is called "Stretched Thin". The name is pretty obvious once you look at the picture. If we look at the cartoon, we can see that Uncle Sam (which obviously represents government and America) is stretched out between the increasing debt and the decreasing employment rate.
- I found this cartoon pretty appropriate because we had been talking about economic issues and how important jobs are. In my opinion, the cartoon is basically saying that the country cannot take anymore unemployment and more debt. Its litterally stretching Uncle Sam to death. The artist is trying to show us how those two topics correlate and are key for our economic recovery.
