I’ve recently become a fan of Lisa Benson’s cartoons (see here, here and here), and this may be her best piece of work.
My only quibble is that there should be an elephant somewhere on the wagon since Schwarzenegger also was a big spender.
I’m also a big fan of the work of Michael Ramirez work (see here, here, here, here,here, and here), and he has a new cartoon about Paul Ryan’s plan for Medicare reform.
What makes this cartoon especially biting is that Ryan’s current plan isn’t quite as good as the one he proposed last year, but that isn’t stopping demagogues from complaining.
Which raises a good issue. If you’re going to be viciously demagogued regardless of whether you solve 5 percent of a problem or 100 percent of a problem, why not go all the way?
Maybe I’ll call this “Mitchell’s Don’t-Cross-a-Canyon-in-Two-Leaps Principle,” to complement “Mitchell’s Law” and “Mitchell’s Golden Rule.”
I 100% agree with your Canyon-Two-Leap Principle. Ryan went backwards with this year’s budget, probably in an attempt to duck the demagoguery. He is employing the Obama negotiating strategy (“knowing they won’t like what I want, I’ll start off by meeting them half way as a gesture of my willingness to compromise”). He should put forth a plan that a) he fully believes in and b) fully solves the problem.

[...] Prop 30 in California – Would impose a huge tax hike, including an increase in the state sales tax from 7.25 percent to 7.5 percent, along with three new higher income tax brackets (maxing out at more than 13 percent!) for upper-income taxpayers. The adjoining cartoon is a good summary of the issue, as is this classic bit of political humor. [...]
