Why not tell Europe the secret of our success?

Andrew Mellon carries a basket with fruit (money) away from a tree (U.S. government finances) full of large fruit (treasury surplus), a pair of clippers (tax cuts) laying on the ground. Meanwhile, Uncle Sam advices Europe to find someone like Andrew Mellon. Across the fence, a couple of bare trees have a sign reading, "Europe's fruitless financial efforts."
