Obviously, it's been quiet times at the SMB. Again.
We'll kick things off in short order, but until then, play with this. It's a budget calculator that let's you tackle the intractable problem of America's debt.
To make it more interesting, the SMB lays down a challenge - respond by posting your best effort in the comments section. We won't burden you with any rules, but we do suggest you be realistic. If, for example, you decide to take the axe to Medicare, kindly explain how you'll convince Congress to cut a program that's supported by 70% of the population.
It should be instructive, if nothing else.
