The caption of this cartoon explains that both sides (of the government) are blatantly blaming each other for the governmental budget cut. These words are being used to describe the cartoon because they are straightforward and direct.
The animals represented in this are the elephant and the donkey. The elephant represents the Republican Party and the donkey represents the Democratic Party. Oddly enough, the elephant is standing on the left and the donkey is standing on the right in this cartoon, which is the opposite of where they should be.
The action taking place in this cartoon is the two sides are blaming each other for the budget cut.
The message of the cartoon is politics is wild and arguments can't be avoided. The ideological perspective represented by the cartoonist is neutral, since he is not taking any sides.
This cartoon relates to a current political event because it is happening right now in our country. It relates to our class discussion because we have mentioned this issue before.
Satire and irony influence the topics covered in this cartoon because it depicts both sides hating each other.
