iCivics: People's Pie

In the iCivics game, People's Pie, I not only learned how to manage the federal budget, but discovered how taxation greatly affects how much I'm able to spend for the country as well. I had to apply mathematical and logical skills to help decide on what to fund and what to cut for the U.S. In the end, I ended up being in debt and displeasing my citizens. It was difficult to manage the budget and to decide what was necessary to cut and what was necessary to fund. The game really allowed me to think deeply on what programs were essential to our nation and why the U.S. Government struggles so much to maintain our budget. If I was to change anything for the next time I play, I would tax a little bit more on the income tax in order to have more spending money to support the programs for our nation.
