This image is to direct satire on budget cutting in America. Our economy is at risk and is a big issue this year in the upcoming elections. On the left, democrat, has a small knife and represents a surgeon. On the right a republican, holding a sife to show how he is prepared to make huge cuts. This means that with the American budget situation the democrats want to make little cuts while republicans are prepared to make huge cuts. With GOP canidates fighting for a chance to beat Obama this year, the American budget crisis will be an important topic, especially in the primary election. When people look at this they will see a representation of the differences between the two partys and ask what are they prepared to support.  This is pro democrat in my personal opinion because the democrat in this cartoon is obviously taking the safer approach to the surgery while the republican is using a sife for operation.
