Fiscal Cliff Deficit - Color — Rick McKee, CagleCartoons.com

McKee depicts the federal deficit as the central villain of the fiscal cliff drama, showing how America's chronic structural overspending set the stage for the manufactured January 2013 crisis. The cartoon illustrates how the real fiscal stakes were obscured by political theater during the budget confrontation.
