"Stabilize the U.S. Debt: An Online Exercise in Hard Choices"

Interesting and instructive. Excellent for principles of economics classes.

Getting the federal debt down to "just" 60% of GDP by 2018 will be difficult. (But the simulator should let you raise the retirement age to higher than 68; that's where the money is. And it should let you sell off some of the federal government's assets.)

I disagree with a few of its conclusions about the budget impact of certain actions, for example repealing the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (I think they don't list it by name, the option is just "repeal entire bill), is counted by the page as costing $160bil rather than saving money.
