I solved the deficit! Who knew it would be so simple? Brilliant execution by the New York Times of an online widget that makes it easy to understand the impact of various budget-cutting and income-increasing options. Of course, I didn’t have to deal with the consequences of these decisions for my reelection bid, and I didn’t have lobbyists camped outside my door offering wads of cash for said bid. Not the most realistic simulation, but one that more people should take a look at.
