I don't like this new bill about heating and cooling. It's gonna make things harder for me and my family. I don't know much about it, but it doesn't sound good.

I can't believe this new bill about heating and cooling relief. It's gonna cost me more money every month just to keep my house comfortable. Why do they keep passing these bills that only benefit certain people and leave the rest of us struggling to make ends meet? This is just another example of the government not looking out for the average American. I'm really disappointed in our lawmakers for pushing this through.
