From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Reg Manning. A large cat stands on its back legs, and its body is wrapped in a scroll of paper labeled "Congressional spending." The cat is laughing wildly and looking down at a tiny young chicken labeled with a dollar sign and the words, "President's budgeted surplus." The chick is looking up at the cat with a surprised or fearful expression. The cartoon caption reads, "I t'ought I taw a putty cat."
