| Description | Cartoon shows the GOP elephant (wearing blinkers) in a sailboat (labeled "Balanced Budget") attempting to sail past a beautiful girl playing a harp on a rock (labeled "Tax Cut Now"). Ulysses (the Roman name of the Greek hero, Odysseus) managed to escape the enticements of the sirens who lured seamen to their destruction by the sweetness of their songs. Refers to pressure on the Republicans to live up to their campaign promises to cut taxes while balancing the budget. |
