Government Bureaucracy
This political cartoon, depicts the Capital building covered in "red tape." Red tape is a symbol for excessive bureaucracy and the adherence to formalities and excessive rules, while the Capital building is a symbol of the United States government. This is a common assumption associated with government, while the President appoints the majority of bureaucratic positions, Congress often creates regulatory agencies when they see the need for them. Therefore, many Americans often feel that laws and government changes are often hindered, slowed down, by having to follow such strict acts of formalities.
This satirical political cartoon, would likely be found in a newspaper or on the internet accompanied by an article which discussed the lack of action of Congress or the President based upon formalities and excess rules. Which are vital processes, but can often become overwhelming for the public to understand.
