Strap Your Hands Across My Engines

Henry Payne, 7/24/11:
Payne is yet another in the long line of commentators who misunderstands the relationship between the debt ceiling and government spending, but that's OK -- he has this splendidly labeled cartoon to show for it. (If spending is a car, then the debt ceiling wouldn't be a speed limit -- it's the size of the highway system, perhaps.)

Note that we're subtly reminded of Obama's race by the backwards baseball cap.

Also note that it's a small car, which is always a bad thing in a Payne cartoon.
