The Burden of Budget Allocation
This cartoon features a person, representing the public, struggling to balance on one side of a seesaw weighed down by a large bag labeled “Budget Cuts.” On the opposite end of the seesaw, a wealthy figure or a politician sits comfortably, untouched by the burden. This imagery suggests an imbalance in budget distribution, where ordinary citizens bear the brunt of financial cuts, while the wealthy remain largely unaffected. The cartoon highlights the disparity in how budget decisions impact different social classes.
