The Bill

I'm not a big fan of a number of Republican policies. This is one of several ideas I had for illustrations commenting on those issues.

Here, the Republican elephant gorges himself and then sticks the bill to a child who had eaten very little. The piece was inspired by a Republican congress and president that cut taxes for the wealthy while running up a huge budget deficit. Who's going to pay for it all? Our children.
