Barrels and Bucks

In this image, employees on Wall Street are enraged that oil prices have increased to 'almost a hundred per barrel". However, in the following image, the cartoon alludes to the fact that since prices have risen, the cost of the barrel itself is almost a hundred, completely disregarding the cost of the oil itself. This cartoon gives a clear demonstration of how our economy has gotten out of hand. Prices on most product these days have gone way up, and it is becoming a major problem for us Americans. Hopefully, with a new president at hand, we will be able to get out of this recession and make a complete recovery.
