| Description | Cartoon shows President-elect Eisenhower, arriving in Washington, bags in hand, staring at the Capitol dome (drawn as a bag of money labeled "National Budget") and the Washington Monument (labeled "National Debt"). Refers to the popular movie, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, in which a naive local hero is appointed to the U.S. Senate, thinking he can expose corruption in Washington. Suggests that the newly elected president is in for a shock when he discovers the immensity of the government's fiscal problems. |
