The Chinese Compettion

Wuerker in this political cartoon shows how the in-fighting of the U.S government is inhibiting economic recovery and putting the U.S behind in terms of world-wide competition. This cartoon showcases the two economic leaders in the world, the United States and China, and it shows how the team of China is uniform and looks like a prepared team for the upcoming "game". The United States on the other hand is disorderly and cannot even setup at the line of scrimmage. Wuerker is making the assertion that until the United States can come together and reach a compromise, they will inevitably lose their position as an economic power in the world.
