Budget Hero is an interactive game that lets people explore the major issues of the 2008 Presidential election by changing the federal budget to match their stands on issues and their values.
Budget Hero aims to bring a level of clarity and simplicity to the federal budget. Budget Hero puts numbers against issues like bringing home troops from Iraq soon or gradually or not at all and providing options on taxes, Social Security and Medicare.
