Budget Hero

So Americans are a bit obsessed with heroes right now - Heroes the TV show, Guitar Hero, and now Budget Hero. It lets you call the shots and make the decisions for the federal budget. Check it out and post the following (all shown in the final summary)
  1. Your 3 chosen badges and if you achieved them - mine were Health & Wellness, Green, Economic Stimulus (3 for 3 achieved)
  2. What % of GDP the debt is in 2018 - mine was 17%
  3. Year of the budget bust - mine was 2057
  4. What % of GDP the federal government is in 2018 - mine was 18.7%

  1. Nice job! Here are my numbers:

    1. Badges: 1 of 3, if I remember correctly.
    2. Debt: 7.8% of GDP by 2018
    3. Budget Bust: 2070+
    4. Gov't: 18% of GDP by 2018

    I enjoyed the game, but would prefer a few more drastic options for some of the categories.
