“SORRY—WE’RE FEEDING ALL THE MOUTHS WE CAN”
Siding with Democratic Party senators who called for an immediate increase in food-stamp aid, Herblock decried the Nixon administration’s budget, which greatly increased military spending while neglecting hunger in America. By placing Nixon between military expenditures and waste and the needs of a starving child, Herblock puts the blame on the president for not doing more to provide for the nation’s poor and on the military for wasting taxpayer money.
