Political Cartoons

The political cartoon illustrated by Trever is criticizing the health care reform because it is causing the unemployment rate to increase and the economy is just going down the drain. He is pretty much blaming the high rate of unemployment on health care because of all the time that is being spent to fix it instead of focusing on other important issues. As politicians continue to fix health care the economy and unemployment rate keep suffering. They are currently only focused on health care forgetting and almost ignoring the suffering economy outside the whole health care issue.

Eagen is criticizing the war because eve

n though the U.S. is wiling to help, the Afghans aren't really grateful because

 they still hate the U.S. They only want to be "friends"and form a "lasting friendship" when they find it convenient. They don't care about what the U.S. does all they want is for additional troops without thinking about what the consequences are. The U.S. is willing to actually provide all the necessary help their government and people might need but they don't care about where the help comes from, they only care about when they will be getting that help. 

The Obama administration is so focused with health care that it's forgetting or ignoring the fact that the economy can't afford it right now. It's necessary to first focus on the economy because that is the only way it can achieve a successful health care reform. Health care reform has been pushed for so long ignoring the fact that the country has other more important issues that need to be solved and health care is being placed atop all of those issues.  The main focus so far has been on health care without realizing that we can't afford it.

After having a war for so long many innocent soldiers have died because more and more troops are being sent to fight. The number of troops that are being requested keep increasing and as a result more innocent lives are being lost on the battlefield. The problem in Afghanistan is like a never ending problem because the U.S. is pretty much in a hole. It's going to take a long time to help and fix the Afghanistan government.
