A ship resembling the U.S. Capitol, labeled USA on the bow and Federal Budget on the stern, burns and sinks on water near Iran. Explosions dot the shoreline while fighter jets streak overhead and a small boat approaches. Thick black smoke billows upward with repeated dollar signs and the phrase 1 Billion Per Day. The image caption reads Up In Smoke.
