Can You Balance the Budget!?!

Try this interactive feature from the NYTimes on balancing the US budget by setting priorities and choosing what to cut from the budget, and which taxes to raise. I did it without a problem, by adhering to the following dicta: 1) screw the rich; 2) screw the big corporations; and 3) screw the industrial/military complex. And I'm for that 95% of the US population below the wealthy class; reverting tax rates to Clinton-era levels (Kennedy era would be better); keeping Social Security and Medicare afloat; and keeping tax cuts and breaks for the middle class and those below. As one of my favorite bumperstickers says:

EAT THE RICH
