DescriptionThe Fiscal Ship challenges you to put the federal budget on a sustainable course. Your mission is to pick from a menu of tax and spending options to reduce the debt from projected levels over the next 25 years. Small changes to spending and taxes won't suffice. The choices are difficult, but the goal is achievable. To win the game, you need to find a combination of policies that match your values and priorities AND set the budget on a sustainable course.
