The Greatest It Risk Facing Most Companies Is More Prosaic Than A Catastrophe

Especially since he dedicated a speech in August, 2016 reaffirming that he does not and never will pay ransom to terrorists. US policy forbids the government to negotiate and make ransom payments, especially to terrorists, since it would make Americans their target. In a political cartoon that was published by Glenn McCoy to Townhall.com in August 2016. President Barack Obama was drawn on the side; tall, skinny with big ears that stick out and a big fat nose. He is looking straight forward, with a serious look, claiming “I don’t negotiate with terrorists”. To the right of the cartoon Obama proudly stands behind a smiling man with a turban labeled “Iran” and with a long white beard hunching over a huge pile of cash, that is labeled $400 M ransom money. Above Obama the speech bubble says, “I give them (terrorists) whatever they want”. Most people certainly get a laugh out of a ridiculous cartoon, in which the president of the United States is giving millions of dollars to terrorists. As I mentioned before, when the work of humorist is analyzed. One will discover that it has much more meaning to it than “just a simple joke”, thus the tacit message the humorist is sending is exposed. More specifically this cartoon exposes Obama and the government as liars and terrorists to the American people. Once the implicit message of this political cartoon reaches the audience it provokes then to chuckle nervously. This Demonstrates humorists as exempt from punishment of anything they

Overspending is a pertinent problem facing the lawmakers in Congress. In 2012 discretionary spending reached $1.3 trillion and mandatory spending $2 trillion, while only bringing in $2.5 trillion in revenue. Since the turn of the century back in 2000, non-mandatory spending by the government has topped out a whopping $16.1 trillion just in the past 13 years (Boccia, Frasser & Goff 2013). This persistent overspending on programs and services that are not necessary to the functionality of the country is what is causing the deficit to rise year after year. To remedy this issue the government must either increase the revenue it brings in through taxes and trade or reduce the amount of money it spend or perhaps even both. In 2012 thirty-one cents of every dollar that Washington spent was borrowed (Boccia, Frasser & Goff 2013). Most of which went to large programs such as Social Security and Medicare and if these large, growing programs, or just the budget in general, do not undergo financial reform it could spell disaster for the economy and fiscal state of the nation.

Instead of raising the debt ceiling to around $15.4 Trillion dollars, Mr. Obama should have placed at least the same amount of spending cuts as the proposed raised debt ceiling, if not more.

“Number one, we should look for some significant structural plan to reduce government spending…The debt ceiling historically has been among the best leverage that Congress has to rein in the executive…So the president’s demand, jack up the country’s credit card with no limits

The audience intended for this was the people of America and the industrialists. The cartoon shows 2 men, Cornelius Vanderbilt and James Fisk, riding on trains(Fisk on 1, Vanderbilt on 2). Vanderbilt says to Fisk “Now Then Jim--No Jockeying You Know!” Fisk replies with “Let Em Rip Commodore--But Don't Stop to Water for You'll be Beat." This cartoon is showing how the different industrialists went about their business. Some did their business ethical way: making money, paying their workers fairly, and giving back to the community. While others the unethical way: making money(and keeping it all for themselves) and paying their workers little for lots of work. Document E is another political cartoon which is showing Rockefeller with the white house burning in his hand and the United States Capital as an oil refinery. The purpose of this political cartoon is showing that some of the industrialists are controlling the government by bribing politicians. This cartoon shows Rockefeller as a robber baron because it shows that the government has no control over big businessmen like him. The last document is document F. This document is a quote from Historian B. Historian B is saying how most of the blame on the captains of industry was unwarranted. She/he says that “the free world might have lost the first world war and most certainly have lost the second”(Historian B 1935) if it hadn’t been for

“Ten Trillion and Counting,” presented by Frontline provides quite a picture of America’s national debt as it surpasses the trillion dollar mark. They ponder the financial well being of current and future retirees while also exposing on how America got into this mess, and what the Obama administration plans to do during his term. America is able to close the gap year to year in its national budget by selling bonds and T-bills. Foreigner countries who continually purchase these obligations are beginning to grow. Much like the Bush administration, the Obama administration has started borrowing big with plans to cut the budget years down the road. It is clear for anyone to see that this borrowing and the future promises of cutting cannot go

This political cartoon ties into my theme since it shows how the man is stressing over the news and thoughts and how he must relieve himself from it all. Not only that, but it also ties into the passage Why I Went to the Woods by Henry David Thoreau. This can be proven as it is seen in the passage when the author says that the character would mine and burrow their way through the hills in front of them. With this being a metaphor, the author uses figurative language as he explains how the character in the passage is trying to get away from all of their bad thoughts, trying to leave all of his stress behind but the stress just continues to pile up, just like a hill. This also ties in with my Theme and my political cartoon since they all show

In my opinion, I think he is right. If we reduce spending on Medicare, Medicaid, and social security and look into the defense expenses and reduced some of the spendings in some of the programs such as unnecessary equipment, submarines from the total spending of 4.4 trillion. These are the programs that make up the largest percentage compared to the other programs such as education, international aid, and foreign aid when the government cuts some of the programs mentioned above, it will help balance the budget.

This creates a budget deficit because there is more being spent than what’s being brought it.

Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, said, “President Obama’s budget will be a powerful statement of Democratic principles.” The Obama budget emphasizes Democratic ideals rather than seek a consensus between Democrats’ desires and Republicans’ insistence on cutting spending to bring down the federal annual budget deficits. The senior official of the Congressional Budget Office said Obama would still like a deal but that it is not as mathematically important because deficit spending has fallen, and the Republican House has shown no interest in agreeing to one.

The elephant depicts the Republican party, who was against Obama because he was a Democrat, and their feelings about his dealings. However, the main message intended to come across the satirical image is “OBAMA’S IRAN DEAL … WILL DESTROY

The tone of this cartoon by Jerry Holbert is humorous and ironic. In the cartoon, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are flying above the city to home from a debate on large dollar bills. Both are thinking they understand the average person better. However, the author is trying to say that neither of them truly understand the average person more. He does this by placing Trump and Hillary on money, representing their massive wealth.

The federal budget is known as the infamous monetary tank from which money is distributed to various programs. Why does the federal budget plan cause such uproar of approval or disapproval when it is proposed by the President every February? The money utilized every fiscal year, which runs from October 1st of each year until the end of September of the following year, belongs to the people. The money is raised through income taxes, excise taxes (taxes on goods) and social insurance payroll taxes. Presently, the public is worried about how they will receive a fair share of money appropriations in such a slow economy. The federal deficit has returned, which means that the government’s spending

For as long as Americans can remember there has always been a federal deficit. In fact, the only time in American history when there was no federal debt was under president Andrew Jackson, and it only lasted a single year(Wall Street Journal). The federal government never managed to pay off the debt again, although some administrations, like Coolidge’s and Clinton’s, have managed to run brief surpluses(Wall Street Journal). Yet today there seems to be no limit on the debt and deficit spending, and a key question has been pressed into the forefront of politics and fiscal policy, “is

“US Interior Secretary Sally Jewell’s comment in November that,”I think that there’s a lot of misinformation about fracking,” Jewell said, adding: “I think that it’s part of the industry’s job to make sure that the public understands what it is, how it’s done, and why it’s safe.”” (Murphy, 2014) supporting free-trade and reducing government spending to enable private sectors is what the government is doing to enhance the countries economy which in turn puts the citizens in harms way putting their health and environment at risk of pollution and diseases. It also gives the episode the characteristics of a political cartoon. political cartoons have been traced to the 16th century whereby theological debates of the reformation are used. Pointing out and laying emphasis on the truth and real nature of what a situation is or what is happening by creative power, amplification and humour that delivers the proper message in a pleasant form being the fundamental quality of a satire which The whole Simpson series is all
