How to become a "Budget Hero"?


Check out the cool game of "Budget Hero" produced by American Public Media.

What is the motivation behind the game? 

-- "Budget Hero seeks to provide a values- and fiscal-based lens for citizens to examine policy debates during this election year. Partisan messages tend to cloud the real issues at play during campaigns, and most candidates are loath to attach detailed financial impacts to solutions which make up their platform. Budget Hero provides an interactive experiences involving policy opinions that have been extensively researched and vetted with nonpartisan government and think tank experts to enable players to objectively evaluate candidates."
