Tom Toles is worth a thousand words

nice!

I especially like how FAT the baby is. And likely to be even moreso over time.

This captures it, but there are two babies the Republican elephant wants to disown: the legislation and the Americans who've suffered medical misfortunes. And the elephant has spent the last year saying the gestating legislative baby wasn't merely inconvenient to feed but the spawn of the devil, not because he believed that, and not even really because of the inconvenience of feeding the baby, but because he wanted to cause as much harm as possible to his donkey wife.

visionbrkr sort of beat me to it, but I think this comic accepts the Republican belief that Dems don't care about budgets and this bill will negatively impact the budget. Obviously, I think both of those are false.

Exceptional cartoon, but don't overlook the nuanced and critical meaning that the baby is very much human, i.e., a fact that many conveniently ignored when making this issue a political battleground.

It does accurately capture who will generally be paying for it.

Nice phrase, tomtildrum, as it could take on several different meanings!

i like too that the baby seems to take up the entire nursery. Kind of like the other babies (SS, Medicare) all eventually had to move out.
