Great, now Congress has an incentive to underuse funds just to look good on paper—hardly cutting government waste.

Turning leftover funds into debt relief sounds like a win-win, unless someone’s counting those unused perks.

Deficit reduction by returning political scraps? About time we taxed the sharks in suits, not the workers.

A sensible move—if Congress can’t spend it all, at least the taxpayers benefit.

Debt reduction from leftover allowances? Call me skeptical—this smells more like political grandstanding than real reform.

Congress throwing pennies back to the Treasury? Small step, but hey, even crumbs count in the fight for economic justice.

Finally, a bill that makes Congress earn their keep—return the leftovers to the people, not the pockets.

Why punish Congress for being frugal? Sounds like a tax on saving, not on spending waste.

If this stops unnecessary spending, I’m all for it; just hope it’s enforced and not another talking point.
