1. This political cartoon was drawn by Parker
2. It was published in Florida Today on January 8, 2010.
3. The cartoon jokes about the attempts of a government program to help mortgages.
4. The government wanted to help people avoid foreclosure, by buying mortgages. Unfortunately, this program has not worked well at all. The picture shows the homeowners floundering in the waters while the overturned boat represents the failure of the program.
5. I agree that the government program wasn't as effective as it could have been, but I think that it definitely shows a step in the right direction. At least the government is trying to help citizens who are struggling because of the economic downturn, rather than letting them suffer.
