This bill is a total waste of taxpayer money. Why should we be giving handouts to low-capacity rural communities? They should be able to figure things out on their own. We shouldn't be babying them with technical assistance set-asides. Let them sink or swim like the rest of us. This is just another example of government overreach and unnecessary spending. I'm sick of my hard-earned money going towards programs like this. It's time for some common sense in Washington.
