Balance the National Budget - you can do it!

By
Real Estate Agent with CB Valley Broker

Hello all,

When reading the NYT, my only true addiction, a few days ago, I found this "game". You can change parts of the budget to balance it and see how it pans out.

Here is the link:

Have fun and let me know how it went.

Annette - Well it said I balanced it ... but then it's easy is you just "say no" to spending that you can't fund!  You know ... kind of like how we run our households!  Thanks ... it was fun ...

I did it.  However, it leave a lot to be desired, and is very limited in what choices it offers. 

For instance, it did not give the option to increase tariffs on foreign imports.  It did not give the option to return to Eisenhower tax levels.  Those two actions alone would do most of the work.
