With all of the discussion about the budget in last few years; it seems it would be helpful to create a clear reference by the CBO, in the form of an interactive web page. This would create a common point of reference for our elected officials, and the American people. The Congressional Budget Office seems the obvious choice for this, as they are the nonpartisan analysis for the US Congress. This interactive web page would include a broken down analysis of where our money comes from (i.e. payroll, corporate, social security, excise, customs, and estate tax) Also, where our money goes, (i.e. Debt, Dept. of Defense, Social Security, Medicare, & Medicaid.) We the people have responsibility to understand our government and how it works, to keep America the best country in the world.
