| Description | Cartoon shows Uncle Sam trying to ford a stream labeled "U.S. Deficit," on a donkey (labeled "New Deal") submerged up to his ears. Republican presidential candidate, Wendell Willkie, on the GOP elephant, prepares to throw him a life preserver. In the the 1940 campaign, Willkie attacked the New Deal, gaining support from those who felt that it had failed to solve the problems of the Depression and by enlarging the scope of the government had increased the national debt. |
