New York Times Budget Puzzle

-How much did you save?
In 2015- $363 Billion
In 2030- $719 Billion

-What percent came from tax increases? 62%
-What percent came from spending cuts? 38%

Reflection:
Most of the decisions I made were very simple. I easily decided to cut military costs by reducing the amount of funding there would be for weapons. What I had a difficult time with, however, was deciding on changes for social security and medicare. In my opinion, those are both huge and important and deserve funding.
