"Oh uncle…"

Uncle Sam is about to give a bag of money (billions in debt cancellation) to a man (Europe), when a farmer (needy farmer), with his hand on his stomach and his empty pockets hang inside out, pulls on Uncle Sam's coattails. A newspaper lays next to the farmer with the headline "Secretary of Treasury attacks farm subsidy - favors partial debt cancelation for Europe."
