[Click](http://www.economist.com/node/21524951?fsrc=scn/tw/te/ar/kalscartoonjune28th). 😛 Actually, given the fact we’re careering towards another recession at the very least, unless something is agreed soon, it’s not that particularly funny. ---

It may not be funny, but it’s a very effective cartoon. I really like the Economist, and wish another subscription would magically appear on my doorstep, like the last one did. ---

Yes, my brother posted this on FB. Great cartoon, but it’s gallows humor. ---

I subscribe to _The Economist_ and read as much of it as I can each week while also having a job and kids. I look forward to retirement when I can read the whole thing before the next one shows up. And I LOVED this cartoon when I saw it - one of the best recently. ---

If you subscribe, you can download the podcast which has the full episode read out. Great for the commute or background in place of a radio. ---
