 * //**Task Description:**// **(T)** ||
 * The United States is in the midst of a depression and chaos is happening in Congress on how to fix this. The government is looking for a hero to come in to save the day. You and your fellow lobbyist partner(s) have been asked by a member of Congress to be that ‘hero’ which the United States is in dire need of. You as a lobbyist are going to create and propose a bill to help bring the United States out of its current situation. With how busy Congress is at this time they would like for your team of lobbyist to make an infomercial about your bill. This commercial should answer all the questions that Congress may have, because you will not be present at the time it is presented. ||
