So, what's up with this Foster Youth Postsecondary Education Act? Sounds like a lot of talk but will it really help anyone? I don't see how this is gonna make a difference in the long run. Short term, it's just gonna be more red tape to deal with.

I think this bill is a good idea for foster youth to have more opportunities for education. It could help them succeed in the long run.
