In Folder: AAEC Editorial Cartoons
From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Eldon Pletcher. Two graphs are on a wall, and Paul Volcker is on top of them doing a balancing act. One foot is standing on top of a graph labeled, "Pull recovery up," and his hand has hold of the trend line, trying to raise it. His other foot is on the trend line of the graph labeled, " Hold inflation down," and his weight is applying downward pressure. A man nearby is labeled "Senate renomination hearings." The man's eyes are shut, and he is crying as he says, "Good luck Paul, you poor devil."
