People's Pie: Balancing Taxes and Funding for a Strong Economy

People's Pie is an Android game developed by iCivics that challenges players to balance tax rates and funding in order to maintain a strong economy and avoid excessive national debt. The game aims to teach players about the impact of federal tax and spending policies on the national budget and debt.

In People's Pie, players must set taxes and retirement age over a three-year period, while considering various policies and funding needs across the federal government. They need to assess policy pitches and make funding commitments based on their priorities. Players also have to review their proposed annual budget and make tough decisions to achieve a balance or surplus.

One of the game's key features is the ability to manage public approval, as each decision made by the player will have an impact. This allows players to see the consequences of their choices and understand the importance of maintaining public support.

For English Language Learners, People's Pie offers support tools such as Spanish translation, voiceover, and a glossary. Teachers can also find classroom resources for the game on the iCivics "teach" page.

Overall, People's Pie provides an engaging and educational experience that helps players understand the complexities of federal tax and spending policies, and the importance of making informed decisions for a strong economy.
