Depicting President Ronald Reagan and counselor Edwin Meese riding in a limousine, Herblock castigates the disregard and insensitivity Reagan had expressed the day before in an interview regarding the disastrous impact of his economic policies on the nation’s homeless and poor.

Herblock gives visible form to the acute deprivation resulting from policies favoring the “well supplied.”
