I will admit that stuff like funding for the Smithsonian doesn’t seem really very useful, but a lot of the science and education stuff… honestly, teachers don’t work for free and neither can scientists. Where else do they think the money is going??

The only thing that truly bugs me about this bill is that currently, my understanding is that none of it requires any of the building materials and whatnot be American-made, in America… if we want to support our own industry and workers and promote job growth and economic growth, honestly, we need to make those kinds of requirements part of the package.
