The cartoon is drawn from a neutral/common perspective.

I think that the artist is trying to signal the approaching avalanche of social security applications from the Baby Boomer generation. In this cartoon, the artist shows Kathleen Casey-Kirschling, who was born a second after midnight on January 1, 1946, making here the first baby boomer. Here, the artist shows Kathleen Casey-Kirschling who has come to apply for her social security benefits. In the back, the artist also shows a crowd of more baby boomers who would be applying pretty soon. The baby boomer generation consists of about 80 million people, and it is expected that 10,000 people a day will be applying for social security benefits in coming 2 decades.

I agree with the artist. The 80 million social security benefit applications expected in coming two decades is estimated to cause $15 trillion worth of shortage to the social security trust fund. Thus, I think that this great amount of shortage will soon cause the social security trust fund to go broke, risking the social security and Medicare benefits for the coming generations.
