It really isn't so hard to balance the US budget and eliminate the deficit. That was my go at it. You don't need to go back to the policies of the Eisenhower administration or even the Clinton administration. I think the hard part comes in when you have to convince 100 Senators and 438 Congresspeople to vote for your plan. Perhaps it's also a problem that there is no single person to come up with a budget and push it through (as far as I know, it's a committee thing).
Give it a try, if you haven't done so already.

This is your TRS-80 -- emulator... in the Ubuntu Software Store. I haven't installed it. Don't worry--apparently, if you haven't got a cassette deck storage unit attached to your computer, you can store the programs that you write as .WAV files.
