Political Cartoon #2

Ok so this weeks political cartoon i found on cagle.com/politicalcartoons.

So this cartoon basically says "SHOP! or the terrorists win" basically saying buy things this Christmas or we all go bankrupt and no one has money and our economy goes down even worse. The stores employees are next to a bunch of Christmas gifts and the woman/consumer can't buy it because she doesn't have enough money to buy all that because our economy right now. So it's also referring that consumers will buy WAY less this Christmas then previous years. Also in the background you can see signs like "BUY!" or "WII" or "DRUG FREE CHINESE TOYS". The market's desperate to make sales.

I don't know if i necessarily agree with this cartoon in some points like, since gas prices are down people are spending less money on gas so they should have extra money in their pockets. Another example is this years black friday was a lot more successful then last years meaning people are still willing to spend. For negative sides you can also view that a lot of major companies are laying off, so even with extra money from gas, people still need to find jobs. People also could have spent more on black friday as Christmas shopping, or even the fact just because this year's Black Friday prices were a lot lower then previous.

So who knows what's going to happen, hopefully we'll have a good economic turn out for Christmas :)
