Some of the sections are unclear. For instance, what happens if you want to increase tax to certain brackets and cut a few hundred billion off the military budget?

"Budget Totals

Old budget was $1977.6 billion
($1522.1 billion in spending, $455.5 billion in tax expenditures).

New budget is $1897.84 billion
($1405.06 billion in spending, $492.78 billion in tax expenditures).

You have cut the deficit by $79.76 billion.

Your new deficit is $112.24 billion."

Not bad, for a first try off the top of my head.

Your new deficit is $-1533.67 billion.


I'm good. Of course, there's no category for "buying th moon expendatures", which I think could easily be done with 1533.67 Billion.

I eliminated the entire budget and used the balance to escape to my hidden Martian city before the foolish citizens noticed. Long live Emperor Gort!
