I heard about this new bill about parks, but I'm not really sure what it's all about. Seems like it could have some impact on me, but I'm not sure how. Gonna have to do some more research on this one.

This bill is a joke. It's gonna cost me more money and I ain't happy about it. Who's gonna pay for all these "equal" parks? Definitely not the politicians pushing this crap through. Long term, this is gonna be a burden on hardworking Americans like me.
