Budget hero

[Citizen James]

Ran across this game and thought of you folks.

How well can you do in balancing the budget?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

That was good fun.

I reduced debt and downsized government.

[War on Want]

I destroyed the debt, by increasing taxes, cutting military spending but still managed to have Universal Healthcare, and increase green funding.

[Хahar 🤔]

I almost eliminated debt, defrayed budget bust until 2070+, implemented universal healthcare, and raised taxes enormously. And I did it all while shrinking the size of government.

[NDN]

Summary: Cut pork, social security (especially for the wealthy), corporate taxes, military spending, foreign aid, and some other useless stuff. Increased funding for universal healthcare and education through select tax raises.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Reduced debt from 37.7% of GDP to 13.8%
Delayed the bust until 2068.

I
- held back future tax cuts from all except the worst-off
- capped greenhouse emissions
- Increased funding to education, infrastructure, health, environment and housing support.
- I cut funding including, wealthy SS and medicare benefits, pork-barrel and military spending (while increasing funding to foreign aid and other non-war related peace building projects)

Got all three - Safety net, economic stimulus and green.
