Balancing the US Budget: The Video Game

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has been approached by the Obama administration about potentially creating a video game where users would try their hand at balancing the United States budget, Kotaku reports. The concept was created by Erskine Bowles with the idea that “would enable anyone with a computer to take a stab at balancing the budget.”

If it’s a flash game, it probably won’t soar to the front of AddictingGames.com but I’m sure most people would at least try their hand at it. Who knows? Maybe some drunk fratboy will solve our budget crisis after a weekend-long kegger.
