Create Your Own Federal Budget!

I did budget hero. I basically ended all tax breaks for various things and gutted SS and Medicare and the military. I was shocked at how much revenue eliminating the AMT brought in

Anyway, I ended up with a $600 billion dollar surplus, government as 18% of the economy, and a budget bust was delayed until 2068. I satisfied the three badges too ('Green', efficiency, and competitiveness).

Budget Totals
Old budget was $3748.1268 billion
($2673 billion in spending, $1075.1268 billion in tax expenditures and cuts).

New budget is $2196.79 billion
($1803.32 billion in spending, $393.47 billion in tax expenditures and cuts).
You have cut the deficit by $1551.34 billion.
Your new deficit is $-1150.33 billion.

Basically, I cut everything except R&D, environmental stuff, and educational stuff. I let the Bush tax cuts expire and eliminated most tax credits. I'm draconian
