| Description | Cartoon shows a train of boxcars carrying giraffes (labeled "Farm Subsidies," "Fair Deal," and "Campaign Promises") heading for a low tunnel labeled "Tax Limit." President Truman (labeled "Truman Program") sits atop one of the boxcars, oblivious to the fact that the giraffes are much too tall to go through the tunnel. Probably reflects the growing awareness that there would be a budget deficit in Fiscal 1949 since Congress was reluctant to raise taxes, and blames this on the perceived excesses of Truman Administration programs. |
