Description	An original political cartoon drawing created by Jack Knox, the Nashville Banner editorial cartoonist from the mid-1940s to early 1970s. In this cartoon, a tattered, exhausted man ("U.S.") tries to run and keep his balance on a barrel ("Red Ink Treadmill"). President Kennedy looks on, urging him to do "…12 or 15 billion quick time …." In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed into law a bill cutting taxes across the board, followed by his 1963 proposal submitted to Congress for a major tax reform which included huge tax cuts to bolster the economy and provide tax relief. However, many Americans were opposed to the tax plan and concerned about its impact on the national economy. The federal budget expenditures on defense spending also increased during the Cold War and the escalation in the Vietnam conflict.
