Deficit Hawk (US Fed Budget) (v. 1.6) Разработано HolyHog Software LLC |
Try your hand as fixing the US Nation budget deficit! It's harder than you think.
If you are sick and tired of politicians negotiating our future behind closed doors, then take matters into your own hands and fix the problem yourself.
This app lets you make over one hundred spending cuts and tax increases, all calculated by the Congressional Budget Office (a non-partisan office of Congress). Do you think taxes on the rich should be increased? Do it. It won't eliminate the deficit. How about increasing the Social Security retirement age? Not enough either.
You make the tough choices. Then when you've got it figured out send a report to your friends or to your elected representatives in Congress.
Whether you are Republican, Democrat, Independent or Tea Party; whether you are young or old, black or white, tall or short it won't be easy. But it's not impossible and our elected officials need to hear from us in a more meaningful way than just shouting at them in town hall meetings.
All the data presented in this app is from the CBO. There's no partisan spin here, just real facts on what it will take.
If you like this app I hope you will take a look at my other apps in the market. Just scroll down to where is says "View more applications."

[2012-01-25] Matt: Great concept I was really excited about this, but not enough cuts. If you choose ALL cuts, you still have almost $3T in debt. That's just not realistic. |
|
[2011-12-19] Derek: Great trial for congressional shoes I love the simplified introduction to a complex matter. Reading the Congressional Budget Office's proposals has never been easier, or their long-term effects more clearly understood! |
|
[2011-12-04] art: Too limited. Needs more choices for cuts but no app could list every instance of Government pork. |
|
[2011-09-30] Guy: Balanced Ignore the fools who say it has liberal agenda. Forward your plan to your congress persons, and tell them to stop fighting and get to work! |
|
[2011-09-18] Thomas : Hell yea tax the rich and take away their tax breaks too! They sent jobs abroad and bring in illegals too! Leave the poor alone! Great app! |
|
[2011-09-15] stephen: Good time killer Wish it had more choices that represent both sides of the major political game instead of the liberal view! |
|
[2011-09-13] Mary: Get real cuts Not good only addresses taxes. No real options. Waste of time. |
|
[2011-08-13] Royce: Directed choices. Limited choices. Not really helpful. Geared toward the liberal choices. |
|
[2011-08-05] Derrick: Neat but method to address items is limited. In most cases the legislation is poorer contrived to begin with. |
|
[2011-07-23] JVS: Who wrote this? Obama? Not nearly enough hard cuts options (ie, kill welfare). Their idea of "spending cuts" are actually tax increases. Stupid! |
|
[2011-07-23] Mark: @JVS - The choices are from the Congressional Budget Office. We didn't make them up. If you have another source of data you want included email us. |

[2011-07-05] octabodegroup: I won my argument by using this app! |
|
[2011-07-03] Joseph: It needs to have more welfare cut options. lol |
|
[2011-06-30] dang: It's easy to think about the deficit in a partisan way, but this app shows how difficult of a problem it is to solve without cuts AND more taxes. |
