Fun little game that lets you balance the federal budget
http://minnesota.publicradio.org/projects/2008/05/budget_hero/

It's just shocking how easy it is to balance the budget while at the same time paying for a national healthcare system and fixing Social Security when you get rid of Dumbass's tax cuts, cut the defense budget by 10%, and cut out government pork. I also enacted a carbon tax and raised the gas tax. Then I massively increased funding for alternative energy, education, and infrastructure. I still had a $300 billion surplus to pay down the debt with. And the size of government was actually a little SMALLER then it is now because of the military cuts!
