The Budget Rescue Simulator

Welcome to the Ministry of Finance! You have the unique chance to rehabilitate the Austrian state budget.

The Task: Adjust the sliders so that the deficit falls below the magic 3% limit. Save on education, cut health, or – God forbid – reduce spending on parliamentary keyboard instruments.

Good luck! (You'll need it.)
