Poisoned Budget?

This is an AI-generated cartoon with the prompt: A political cartoon in horizontal format, rendered in pen and ink with colored markers. At the center are two large baskets side by side: the left one labeled ‘Public Welfare,’ nearly empty with scraps like a broken crayon (education), a battered stethoscope (health), and a wilted rice stalk (anti-poverty); the right one labeled ‘Political Projects,’ overflowing with cash, ribbon-cutting scissors, campaign posters, and golden shovels. A plump politician in a barong, grinning smugly, gleefully tosses bundles of money into the overflowing basket while ignoring the empty one. Behind the welfare basket stand weary citizens—a child with a worn school bag, a nurse with a broken syringe, and a farmer with an empty sack. Behind the political projects basket, cronies and contractors wait eagerly, rubbing their hands. At the bottom, a caption reads: ‘Where the nation’s budget finds its home.’
