Depending on date of the cartoon, possibly related to:  "The Economy Act, drafted by Budget Director Lewis Williams Douglas, was passed on March 14, 1933. The act proposed to balance the "regular" (non-emergency) federal budget by cutting the salaries of government employees and cutting pensions to veterans by fifteen percent....  Roosevelt initially favored balancing the budget, but soon found himself running spending deficits to fund his numerous programs."
