Waiting for him to pay that old bill first

A man wearing a suit and a top hat sits with his arms crossed inside a car (France) that is stuck in the mud (present financial depression). From a rise, Uncle Sam holds a document (Bill for towing - 1917-'18 - Unpaid Debts), and next to him are two bridled horses ($) with a sign that reads "further credit to help France out."
