I don't think this bill is a good idea. It's just gonna make things more complicated and I don't see how it's gonna help anyone. It's just gonna cause more problems in the long run.

This bill is going to hurt American workers like me. It allows foreign ships to be built in US shipyards, taking away jobs from hardworking Americans. Did you know that this bill also reduces regulations on foreign shipbuilders, putting American workers at a disadvantage? #SaveAmericanJobs
