The two-panel cartoon by Monte Wolverton addresses the 2023 debt ceiling agreement. The left panel shows a suited man amid stacks of cash declaring safety after decreased IRS tax enforcement. The right panel depicts a woman stating hunger amid increased work requirements for SNAP benefits. The piece highlights how the budget compromise favored high-income taxpayers through lighter enforcement while imposing stricter conditions on low-income aid recipients. Wolverton uses contrasting expressions and settings to underscore the uneven impacts of the fiscal deal reached in early June 2023.
