I don't really know much about this bill, but it seems like a waste of taxpayer money to be spending on a statue of Benjamin Franklin for the Capitol. I mean, why do we need another statue in there anyway? There are already plenty of statues of important historical figures. Plus, I'm not even sure if Benjamin Franklin is the best choice for a new statue. I just don't see how this is going to benefit anyone, especially when there are so many other pressing issues that need to be addressed. #confused #wasteofmoney

I think this bill is a good idea. Ben Franklin was a cool dude and deserves a statue in the Capitol. But will this really make a difference in the long run? What do you think?
