Based on extensive research, I rewrote the Federal budget into the interactive spreadsheet pictured below. For full details — and for your chance to fix the budget — click here to download it. UPDATE: The spreadsheet’s bottom lines reflect circumstances in early 2010, which have changed substantially since then. However, the spreadsheet still renders fairly accurate comparative consequences for various policy changes (changes in tax rates, retirement ages, etc.).
In the budget spreadsheet, the interactive parts and results (pictured below) are found under ‘EnterHere’ — click on that tab at the bottom of the open spreadsheet. Click here to download.
