Let's Play a Game

[christiangirl]

I would have made it if I'd cut out "other spending." Though I cut out lots of things that I wouldn't have cut IRL, I just really wanted to win the game.

You balanced
the budget!
Under your budget for August,
the federal government
will have a tax surplus of:

$141,500,000,000

Yay! But, for real, if I were in a position to make any impact, I would encourage the powers-that-be to drastically increase funding to nonprofits and also increase nonprofit oversight, evaluation and accountability.

Nonprofits do so much more with so much less than the federal government. However, one of the biggest problems is certain nonprofits taking advantage of their autonomy and/or failing to meet outcomes.

Nonprofits certainly couldn't solve all the problems (and would ultimately take work away from federal employees), but they would go a long way in helping.
