Fun with debt ceilings. Budget Game- Budget Hero 2.0

Budget Hero 2.0: Fun with debt ceilings!

Budget Hero uses data from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, which keeps track of the budget and makes predictions about the impact of all sorts of proposed policies. This allows the game to get pretty wonky very quickly, with options to "extend the Bush tax cuts" and link that amount to inflation right off the bat. It's almost as confusing as calculating hit points, for all you old-school D&Ders out there.

Having already sold my values short and taken away some of my own mother's monthly income, I had to give up and start writing this post to help balance my own budget. Let me know if you had any more success, and if you were able to do it without converting all interstates back to wagon trails.
