Is the “Ickes” on the cart any relation to Harold?

Yes, as a matter of fact, Harold McEwen Ickes is the son of Harold Leclaire Ickes, the person depicted on the cart and seen shoveling off the dollar bills is an extremely wasteful manner. Harold the senior was part of the FDR New Deal “brain trust”. You just had to trust that they had some brains somewhere.

Here is a great quote from Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior for FDR. During World War II Ickes told the Congress of American-Soviet Friendship in November 1943,

“In certain respects we could do well to learn from Russia; yes, even to imitate Russia.”

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The Chief Turd, father of the Clinton Turd, long distance heavy weight...tough guy on the phone, when confronted face to face, a coward...just like his dear old Dad.
