 Do the interactive balance the budget widget. Come back and tell
 us how you did.

 I did it a couple times. I balanced the budget with no cuts at
 all, just revenue increases.

 That was just to see if it could be done. In my 'for real'
 balancing I cut nothing at all from the elderly and medical
 care. Cut only from the military on things I think should be cut
 even if the budget was already balanced, and went for the lower
 level of tax increases.

 BTW, the ones I went for were the ones I thought should be done
 whether there is a defict or not, and I still balanced the
 budget.

 All the options are current or recent proposals, and all the
 numbers come from the CBO.

 There are quite a few I do not agree with all the way, so I
 chose the one that best fit what I wanted. On the national sales
 tax, I am actually against it, but I had to put that in to
 balance the budget in the second chart, for 2030. I don't really
 believe it was necessary, but it was as close as I could come.
 My preference is for that sales tax to replace the payroll taxes
 for social security and medicare.
