Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 12, 2016

An iceberg always has right of way.

An unfortunate twofer.

good representation of Hewlett Packard

I don’t get it. I can’t even spot the strawman.

Supply-side economics is the policy that stresses reducing barriers to capital formation and to production. (Contrast with the “trickle-down” myth, which misrepresents supply-side as some sort of redistributionist policy; Google “sowell trickle down” for elaboration.) The strip has no connection to either concept.

Man the lifebergs!

Actually, being stranded on a cartoon iceberg would be a lot better than being stranded on a cartoon desert island. At least you’d have fresh drinking water….

Is this part of the socialist network?

Trying to be a political commentator again and failing miserably.It more accurately represents the Sanders/Clinton approach

I’ve got a boss that is very good with flawless theory. We use a lot of aspirin in my office, too.

anything but admit supply side/trickle down only works for the 1%, steals everything from the middle and working class.class war as Warren Buffet described it, the rich are winning.

Thank St. Reagan and Nixon/Ford for the return to Feudalismor the Powell Memo. can’t say we weren’t forewarned.

Socialism for the Rich and Poverty for the Rest. it works!!and the Right will do everything but give up their Vampire Squid Behavior. Take the Whole Planet down, just never admit how Evil triumphs under THEIR plan! Extend and Pretend, aka Austerity/Supply side lies.

how dumb the 99% are, such perfect sheep for the Republican/Democratic Owners.

Sometimes, I feel like I’m the First Mate on the Ship of Fools , and it’s sinking, rapidly.

Oh Wiley Polar Bears, your breakfast is waiting in the refrigerator!

Well, you can always wait for the the trickle-down effect to kick in. A rising tide lifts all boats.

What was working? So caution did not sink in. Or just blame it on Obama.

That’s only tip of the iceberg

I’ll vote for the person that gives me the most “Government Goodies” that other people pay for.

BINGO! Another example showing that the only result of trickle down is everyone gets wet!

Perhaps he meant to say “The invisible hand of the Free Market”, where the survivors would say, “Well, we’ll never book a ticket on a liner that uses that navigation system again.”

Obamacare.

Reading the comments to this strip every day inevitably assures me that the one true fundamental American tenet remains alive and well:The taxes you pay are good;the taxes I pay are bad;the benefits I receive are good;the benefits you receive are bad.

Uh, the ship is the SS Reagan, and those on the calf are the middle class, blue collar workers, sacrificed to the gods of Wall Street and Federal Reserve.

A failed theory, as sadly, the facts didn’t add up.Now on to the facts…Happy Darwin Day everyone! Dare to evolve a little. :D

I think it went wrong when we started working on the money supply instead of tending to the wealth supply, thinking that money is the same as wealth.Love of money is the root of all evil, I suppose.

If the map shows one thing and the terrain another, follow the terrain.

Just tax everyone at 100% and let the government decide how much money you need.

Paul Keating once described an opponent as “All tip and no iceberg”. It could be applied to a lot of politicians.

The Polar bears used their ACME Instant Iceberg Freezer again!.

Titantic II launching allegedly due in 2018..http://jalopnik.com/everything-about-the-titanic-ii-is-not-real-1758554564

You are right about the cartoon being about Titanic’s owners getting cheap on steel, not building the barrier walls to the ceilings and making the sections water tight, via portal doors, from one another. Not to mention having enough lifeboats for all… the real reason a cost they didn’t want to pay. However being Darwin Day, I couldn’t resist throwing that out.I also understand there is a time that a theory stops being a theory and becomes fact. Evolution is more fact then theory, Those that would take us back to the dark ages are about the only ones that would disagree.Hey, I’m still giggin’ about the gravitational waves….

You could just as easily call this the socialist navigation system. Or the Keynesian navigation system.
