I dunno about this bill, but it sounds like it could mess with my job in the fishing industry. I heard it's supposed to help with credit stuff, but I'm not sure how that's gonna work. I hope it doesn't make things harder for me and my family. #confused #notsure #fishingindustry #creditenhancementact
