I can't believe some people are still questioning this bill. It's about time we prioritize STEM education and innovation in this country. This bill will help create more opportunities for young people like me who are interested in pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. I'm all for it. But I wonder, what will be the long term effects of this bill on our economy and workforce?

I don't think this is a good idea. It just seems like a waste of money.
