While the Trump administration makes headlines wildly tearing down the federal government, Republicans in Congress are making sure nothing will be left except for tax cuts for the rich.
This has been the case since I was a tiny baby, blissfully unaware of the cult of supply-side economics.
If Trump Take Condiment, snack-motivated Americans might finally riot.

Elon Musk’s preferred candidate in a Wisconsin Supreme Court election ate shit on Tuesday, and even oblivious people are starting to notice this guy sucks. Unfortunately it took the complete collapse of the federal government, the economy, and the international order for those ding-dongs to notice.

Russia invaded Ukraine while I was drawing this. Not good! I’ll do a cartoon about it if I think of anything more insightful than that.
I don’t usually watch local news, but we have another winter storm coming, and was curious what the snow totals would be. There were lots of segments about gas prices, even before today’s invasion. I’m sure price fluctuations are a huge inconvenience to commuters, especially the ones who bought monster truck pedestrian smashers when prices were low.
But other fixed costs have been rising for decades and can’t be ameliorated by downsizing your home and family. If there were signs on the sides of every road illuminating this, maybe they’d get as much attention as car juice.

Happy New Year to everyone except Mitch McConnell.
Hopefully Georgia can get rid of this man’s constant appearances in my comics. It takes forever to color this decaying monster. I have more hope for Warnock’s chances than Ossoff’s, but here’s hoping Warnock’s coattails are big enough.

While most people are lamenting the sabotage of the Postal Service and democracy in general, a few simple souls are sad they can’t watch students get CTE this fall.

The Consumer Electronics Show is another opportunity for me to avoid more depressing current events. I guess I’m skeptical of the current Silicon Valley bubble, or maybe I’m just an old luddite now.

Five of the eight largest banks are still too big to fail. Regulators said their plans to wind down weren’t credible and would require bailouts in the event of another collapse. These banks are even bigger than they were in 2008, so the Great Recession Redux will certainly be interesting.

There is a long overdue movement to get women featured on our paper currency. For too long they’ve been relegated to our country’s lame attempts at dollar coins that are too similar to quarters (Thanks, Big Vending Machine!).
I can go on and on about currency policy, so I’ll just point out that Canada began phasing out their even more worthless penny years ago, and to the best of my knowledge, Canada’s economy has yet to be reduced to a system where maple sugar candy and hockey pucks are exchanged for goods and services.
Another thing I learned while drawing this cartoon is that Adobe thinks everyone who wants to open a picture of money is a potential counterfeiter, and not a cartoonist who lacks access to a physical $20 bill for visual reference.
