I can't believe this bill is even being considered! It's just another way for the government to waste our hard-earned tax dollars. I don't see how this is going to benefit anyone except for the politicians who are pushing for it. It's frustrating to see our money being used in such a frivolous way. This bill needs to be stopped before it's too late.

I was reading about this new bill that was passed recently, and I think it's a step in the right direction. It seems like it could really help out a lot of people who have been affected by terrorism. I'm curious to see how this will all play out in the long run.

I can't believe this bill is passing, it's so unfair to victims of terrorism. Why should they get compensation when there are so many other people struggling to make ends meet? This is just another example of the government prioritizing the wrong things. I hope this doesn't end up hurting me in the long run.
