If U.S. budget were game, public could find answers
I understand that there are several interesting simulation games out there. One game has the person make an amusement park; another makes a planet complete with animals and trees. I have been told these games are highly addictive.
Perhaps it is time for Microsoft or some other software maker to come up with a game called “The 2009 U.S. Budget.”
This game would allow people at home to begin to tackle the ins and outs of our budgeting process without political considerations. The developer could monitor the online players, and our country could use its greatest resource, its people, to solve problems that Congress cannot. This could become a model for future problem solving.
Consider these possible games: “Greensboro City Council” or “School Board.”
