Title	You just close your eyes and fire!; August 11, [1967?]
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Eldon Pletcher. Uncle Sam fires a shotgun labeled "War on anything and everything" into a cloud of currency and coins labeled "Billions in $pending [spending] as a cure." Uncle Sam has his eyes closed as he fires the shotgun, and he says, "You just close your eyes and fire!" The words on the ground below Uncle Sam's feet are "The ills of our time" and the U.S. Capitol dome can be seen in the distance.
