With the country being so far in debt, Congress is looking for ways to fix the problem. After constant debating and arguing, the members of Congress decide to raise the amount of taxes citizens pay by 5%. Although this is a lot, they argue that it is the only way for the country to get rid of the debt problem they have. Congress promises that once the country is doing better, finically, then they will reduce the taxes to their previous levels.
