Decent initiative, but can we get some immediate benefits for blind individuals too?

A little justice for our blind neighbors—it's about time Congress starts seeing clearly.

Are we really helping the blind, or is this just another move for bigger government?

A twenty-year demo project? Sounds like we’re dipping our toes instead of diving in.

Nice idea, but shouldn’t private organizations lead the way instead of piling on the SSA?

Another government demo project? Sounds like a new way to waste taxpayer dollars!

left-leaning 02/10/2025

With this bill, we’re not just talking about ability; we're making it tangible for blind Americans.

Finally, a step towards recognizing that blindness is not an employment death sentence!
