"There goes 20 years of paychecks!"

In this political cartoon it shows a rocket ship labeled "To Libya" flying towards its destination. Meanwhile there are people standing below it watching it fly over and these people are the teachers. One of the political cartoon labeled as the teacher is shown to say,"There goes 20 years of paychecks!" This cartoon basically portrays the decision on the budget deficit cuts. It was decided that education spending would be cut down by a lot, which would result in more difficulty in maintaining good education throughout America. It is being questioned on how well the government is functioning because of its lack of good decisions. United States is getting involved with a conflict that truly has nothing to do with them. Money is being spent in unnecessary areas as well as things that does not help America get out of the deficit. Americans are questioning why exactly is America using its money that they supposedly do not have since education funding was cut. Congress and the President are taking decisions that seems to make no sense to Americans because they cut in areas money is needed the most and spend in others that are not needed.
