MyGovCost: Love Gov’s Government Cost Calculator
The MyGovCost App is designed to provide Americans with a clear understanding of the financial burden imposed by the federal Government . This app allows users to calculate their personal government cost by entering their age, educational attainment, and income. It provides an estimate of their lifetime federal tax liability and demonstrates what that money could have earned through savings and investments. Additionally, the app offers a customized chart that breaks down the amount paid for each federal spending category, both for the current year and lifetime. Users can also stay informed through access to MyGovCost News & Blog and The Beacon, which offer timely insights on government policy. The app further provides video resources that explain how government policies contribute to challenges such as high college costs, limited job opportunities, increasing housing expenses, expensive healthcare, and concerns about privacy. Notably, the latest version of the MyGovCost App, 2.0, is featured in the popular YouTube series Love Gov, which provides relatable narratives about government folly.
