The cover of this issue of Time magazine shows the corruption of the US government that many people may turn a blind eye to. Although it is not a natural disaster, corruption in a nations' government can cause or add to problems that are already existing in a country in a negative manner. I think that an extremely controversial part of the cover is that is says "IN GOD WE TRUST" across the top. Many people may be extremely offended by that in itself which can cause problems not even related to the main point of the cover. It also may have the effect of changing someones opinion of the topic depending on how strong their convictions are.
