1934 cartoon fits USA today like a glove

PLAN OF ACTION FOR U.S.
SPEND! SPEND! SPEND!
UNDER THE GUISE OF RECOVERY
BUST THE GOVERNMENT
BLAME THE CAPITALISTS FOR THE FAILURE
JUNK THE CONSTITUTION AND DECLARE A DICTATORSHIP

And that's what the power-drunk "young pinkies from Harvard and Columbia" are doing in this political cartoon, originally published in the Chicago Tribune on April 21, 1934.
