Online Penny Game

Our regular penny game gives the player 100 pennies to distribute according to where one thinks the government gets its money and how it spends it. Each penny represents 1% of the federal budget (or about $27 billion in Fiscal Year 2006). We created an online version that removes the pennies, but still lets you estimate the percentages in each category.  It requires Javascript, and if you experience any problems send an email to: webmaster@concordcoalition.org.  Please enjoy.

Revenues

How much money we get from taxes, tariffs, and borrowing as a percentage of the federal budget.

Outlays

What percentage of the budget is spent on which major initiatives?
