The Cost of Life.


Title/Caption: Health Care Reform, Another Mouth to Feed
                                                                          
This cartoon is of two elephants who have just gave birth to a child. The mother is excited about the birth of the newborn child while the father is upset and saying "Another mouth to Feed!" The box the baby is in says "health care reform" which explains the father's anger. So the cartoon is demonstrating how something as beautiful as life, has become less beautiful because of the current economic status of our country. I really dont think this has to do with a certain ideological perspective but more of economic status and the ability to afford a child at this time. This cartoon relates heavily to current politics because Obama's new Health Care reform was and still is a huge problem and issue.

If you look closely in the corner it says "And I'm pretty sure I'm not the father." So the current economy is hurting American families.
