Current Event #3

This cartoon was drawn by Rick McKee, for the Augusta Chronicle. This cartoon has Santa getting ready to climb down a chimney on Christmas Eve and a postman is on top of the roof, giving him another bag of mail that was late because of budget cuts. This cartoon deals with the U.S. Postal Service and its loss of revenue the past year and the impending slashes to the budget that would eliminate Saturday delivery and rush delivery. Here, the cartoonist is giving an unrealistic, but humorous view as to what could happen if the Postal Service has to down-size. I think, in general, the cartoonist is against the postal service cuts.
