Let the Budget Games Begin

I’m a budget geek, but the learning process was become one was trial by fire. To make things a little easier to understand the byzantine process of budgeting, why not make learning fun by playing a game! I suggest the two websites of:

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget: crfb.org 

This site has a budget simulator that games out the decisions you make to reduce the deficit to 60% by 2020. It is not easy, but very informative about how our tax dollars are spent on the federal level.

Next 10: http://www.budgetchallenge.org/pages/home

This site games out the budget decisions you make on the state level. It even has so budget games for certain cities.

Both of these sites will elevate your knowledge on our budget on the federal, state, and local level.

I will be posting my results on both budget games in subsequent posts.
