Government Shutdown.

This political cartoon tries to depicts an old man sitting down in front of the television watching out for whether or not the government will shut down. If the government decides to shut down then social security will be cut off and seniors or retirement will not receive their retirement money. For older people they base their financial income from the money they obtain from Social Security. There are two nurses near the old man known as Herb. They are trying to say in a way that by the time government actually shuts down he would no longer be there or that by the government shutting down he would go through a breakdown. Either way without the support of the government the federal government will not be able to give social security money to the old people. People are afraid of what might happen to America if the government actually decides to shut down since the budget deficit problems have not been solved.
