Hey #Vivek and #Elon Remember "Oregon Trail"?  The govt. could develop a video game "Cut the Budget"? Download the ENTIRE US budget w/ explanation clickables for each item. Citizens can buy the game with the money going toward the deficit.
It should have a set amount and/or percent that has to be cut. As you go along, certain "disasters" come along that have to be budgeted for. Instead of "your wagon wheel has to be replaced", it could be "war breaks out in Ukraine" or "fire breaks out in LA county". 
Win-win? Citizens see clearly what sort of crap needs to be cut and make decisions on what they thought was ultimately important. 
***On the side, a tracker for how much in taxes they pay now and could save depending on their choices (and a clickable explanation of where those taxes have been coming from).
