I am extremely disappointed with this bill. It is just another example of government overreach and unnecessary spending. It will only add to the already burdensome debt that future generations will have to deal with. This is not the solution we need for affordable education.

I don't think this bill is fair for parents like me. It seems like it could make things harder for us. Who else is feeling the impact of this?
