How would you solve the debt crisis?

With all of the controversy regarding the United States' debt, several sites have released games that allow people to try their own hands in debt balancing.  Specifically, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget released the interactive tool seen in the graphic.  Choose when to phase out troops from Afghanistan and Iraq, whether or not to pursue a moon colony, and how to treat retirees.  The site displays savings relative to current policy dependent upon the policies you choose.

The Wall Street Journal released a similar activity, allowing you to choose between "fiscal cliff" scenarios, extending current legislation, or adopting new measures of your own. The decisions one makes influence whether or not the United States debt would make it to 60% of GDP in 2020, as some policymakers and experts have suggested.
