The Budget Buster game online taught me some things about myself and some things I already knew. It gave a different outlook on the decisions our government has to make dealing with the budget. I learned about how the budget impacts debt, the budget bust, and the size of government.
I already knew that I am good when it comes to budgeting and making decisions for myself. It was a huge task having to make decisions for an entire country. The decisions I made pertaining to some of my beliefs did bring the country's debt down by a large margin. My three main focuses were
- Safety Net
- Helps the needs of the people
- Efficient Government
- Trim the federal spending
- Energy Independence
- Wean dependency from foreign sources of oil
My policy choices helped accomplish some of my goals. Something that I have learned about this game is making a difference in the lives of dependent citizens takes time. I also learned that the government should make decisions for the good of everyone, not just a specific group or class of people. I would like to continue playing this game. I would have also liked to have known about this game during my career as a Political Science major.
