This bill is just another example of wasteful government spending. Why should we be giving special treatment to a specific group of people? It's not fair to the rest of us hardworking Americans.

This bill is such a joke, like seriously? How does this even make sense? It's just another example of the government wasting time and money on pointless legislation. I can't believe they're actually considering passing this crap. SMH.
