<\/a><\/p>\n[spoiler]Title Panel
\nIn large letters: “Our Top Ten Excuses For Ignoring Unemployment”
\nBelow the title, a man prays and says: As the Bible teaches us: “Screw those who cannot help themselves.”<\/p>\n
Panel 1
\nCheerful looking man in tie, seated at desk: High unemployment means lower wages! Think how high profits will be if wages drop to zero!<\/p>\n
Panel 2
\nDeclaming woman: Just get rid of welfare! Once the welfare queens have to pay their OWN way, they’ll find jobs!
\nCheerfully agreeing man: Like during the great depression!<\/p>\n
Panel 3
\nSour-looking man in expensive suit: As the OPPOSITION party, we are firmly opposed to ANYTHING getting done.<\/p>\n
Panel 4
\nScreaming woman with large teeth: THE UNEMPLOYED ARE PARASITES! THEY DESERVE STARVATION!
\nSame woman, in smaller sub-dialog: I’ve been self-reliant since the day I was born!<\/p>\n
Panel 5
\nTrembling, fearful man: Lower unemployment COULD raise inflation slightly, which MIGHT cause investors to make SLIGHTLY less money!
\nSame man, sub-dialogs: O the horror! I just peed my pants!<\/p>\n
Panel 6
\nCheery man on tennis court: I’LL FIGHT UNEMPLOYMENT! As soon as someone pays my six-figure lobbying fee.<\/p>\n
Panel 7
\nContent-looking man in big suit, huge body, tiny head: DEFICIT SPENDING is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! Unless it’s for something ESSENTIAL, like tax cuts for millionaires.<\/p>\n
Panel 8
\nSenator in her office, buried above her elbows in a sea of cash: We Senators would LOVE to help, but we can’t lift our arms because we’re buried in Wall Street money.<\/p>\n
Panel 9
\nWoman shaking her forefinger in the air: THE UNEMPLOYED ARE JUST LAZY! That’s what causes recessions! Sudden inexplicable national epidemics of LAZINESS!<\/p>\n
Panel 10
\nMan standing on a path through the grass, picket fence in background. What’s in front of him might or might not be a cliff. He says: Who CARES? I’VE got enough money.
