I don't know much about this bill, but it sounds like it could be bad for us regular folks. Why are they trying to pass this? What will happen to us if it goes through? #confused

I can't believe this bill is even being considered! This is just another example of the government wasting taxpayer money on unnecessary compensation. It's outrageous that they would prioritize compensating victims of terrorism over other important issues facing our country. This bill is a complete waste of resources and will only serve to further burden hardworking Americans like myself. Did you know that this bill also includes provisions for compensation to foreign victims of terrorism? It's ridiculous that our tax dollars would be going towards compensating individuals from other countries.
