My ideas balanced the budget 35% raised in taxes, and 65% in spending cuts.

48% tax increases 52% Spending cuts... It is quite difficult.

 

[Theofilus]

Savings from spending cuts: 43%
Savings from Tax increases: 57%
2015: $430 billion surplus
2030: $613 billion surplus

If you keep going at that rate, yo may be able to pay the national debt by the end of the century.

What taxes did you increase? You have too much surplus.

I wouldn't end up with that much of a surplus if I were doing it for real. I'd spend a large part of it. There is also the possibility (probablility?) that I misunderstood some of the options and that I would do things differently if I understood them better. I think most of the tax increases were on the higher tax brackets. At least, that's what I meant to do.

Here's what I did.
