It asks you to try and balance the budget by 2015 and 2030. I came up with a 200 billion surplus for 2015 and was only 150 billion short for 2030. See how you do.
 
There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can. .... The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

I'll have to play later. I have a boil I need to lance. Cheers Mike!!
I will play later also.
@Matt-Man, You need to see Mike's boil lancing video. I know Mike thought of the same thing when he read your comment.
I saved $555 billion for 2015 and $1,628 billion and did it with 54% spending cuts and 46% taxes. Mostly from just going back to Clinton-era taxes.
See, it's all so simple and easy and painless!
Wow this is actually fun and upsetting at the same time.
I'll play this later, but a quick look at the way the calculator is set up begs a few questions. Just for one, "Cut aid to the states by 5%" isn't necessarily a bad idea, but would probably end up being offset by unfunded mandates applied by the federal government as it sheds costly responsibilities down to the state level. The model is interesting, but a bit simplistic (much like Congress as a whole).
vw: resesses - breaks in the school day taken by students who would be better off studying their spelling.
MM - Are you going to video the lancing? Or do it live on BTR?!
B - I forgot about that. I don't even remember how long ago that was.
J - It was easy wasn't it? So what's Washington's problem?
K - Upsetting in that it was too easy?
B - "Congress as a whole"
Did you mean 'Congress as a hole?'
Mmm, I'd rather masturbate, or lance Matt's boil than balance the budget.
C - Being a nurse you could probably do both at the same time.
