I can't believe they're trying to pass this bill, it's just ridiculous. Why do they think this is a good idea? It's going to cause so many problems for us. I don't understand why they're even considering it. #NoThanks

I don't think this bill is a good idea. It's just gonna cost a lot of money and who knows if it will even work. Why should we have to pay for something like this when there are other things that need funding? Just seems like a waste to me.
