Congress Questions Future of Anti-Profiteering Authority

Imagine the government lowers taxes on things you buy.

There's a special group, the NAA, that makes sure stores pass those savings on to you.

The government is getting rid of this group.

The Congress party and some states are worried that stores might keep the tax savings instead of lowering prices.

They want to know how the government will make sure consumers still benefit.

Some states want the government to promise they won't lose money because of the tax cuts.

They're worried about protecting their tax money.
