WHO KNEW THAT BUDGETING FOR THE ECONOMY COULD BE FUN?

Budget Hero

Budget Hero is an engaging and
journalistically sound game that encourages players to think through
the complexities and challenges of the federal budget and the major
policy issues of the 2008 election. It frames the policy debate as a
set of federal budget choices determining how money will be raised and
spent. Budget Hero forces players make tradeoffs and confront
compromises inherent in balancing a budget. Can they be Budget Heroes
by staying true to their values while creating a sustainable government?

Hey, Samme - this was surprisingly fun - especially repealing the Bush tax cuts and bringing the troops home quickly - amazing what a difference those two shifts make in the overall bottom line [wry grin].  Thanks for posting this!  I am still working on my “Budget Hero” badges for health and wellbeing and energy independence - but I did push back the bust several years and reduce deficit spending quite a bit.


Thanks for posting this!  Speaking of creativity … [g]



love and hugs -

Neat.  It seemed too simple and common sense.  With minimal cuts and minimal increased taxes and even increasing military divisions to least tax our troops.  Budget entirely in the green and increased universal healthcare and better education and green energy.  There has to be something getting in the way to keep government from taking away help and not penalizing companies who are lazy and mess up our world for many reasons.  Fear sucks!!! :)
