Political Cartoon of the Week #2.

This week's political cartoon of the week is by Michael Ramirez. The cartoon contains a picture of a representative of American Airlines declaring that they were broke and then another picture of the American Government calling him an amateur. The artist made both of them look ridiculous but especially made the American Government look so with his elongated ears and pretentious look. By doing so the cartoonist further satirizes the government by implying that American Airlines is an amateur at being broke when compared to the American Government's skill with it. The cartoon can be seen, thereby, as dealing with not just AA's bankruptcy, but also America's Debt. The Cartoonist makes the American Government actually seem as though it tries to gather debt and go broke: obviously mad with the American Financial Situation and the government's inability to come up with a resolution.
