Hey folks, just wanted to chime in on this bill that's been making the rounds lately. I think it's a step in the right direction to hold our Members of Congress accountable for getting the budget done on time. It's important for our government to be responsible with our tax dollars, and this bill seems like a good way to make sure they stay on track. As someone who relies on government programs like Social Security, I want to see our budget process run smoothly so that these programs can continue to be funded. Let's hope this bill helps make that happen!

I cannot believe the government is trying to push this bill through. It's just another way for them to control us and limit our freedoms. This is not what our country was founded on. It's ridiculous that they think they can dictate how Members of Congress travel based on budget resolutions. This is just another power grab by the government. It's going to have a negative impact on all of us in the short term.
