Description | Cartoon in two panels, one showing President Calvin Coolidge and the other his vice president, Charles Dawes. Coolidge is shown emptying coins from a bag labeled "U.S. Treasury" saying, "Oh how I love to throw money away." Dawes holds a large cup inscribed "To Charles G. Dawes with deep affection from the Senate," while a cat labeled "Filibusters" rubs against his ankles. Coolidge was known as a fiscal conservative during whose presidency the National Debt was reduced by a quarter. Dawes raised a furor when he unsuccessfully tried to persuade the Senate to limit its filibustering rules. |
