I dunno, seems appropriate.

Benjamin Franklin had a very Opinion about the bald eagle:

For my own part I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead tree, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the labour of the fishing hawk; and when that diligent bird has at length taken a fish, and is bearing it to his nest for the support of his mate and young ones, the bald eagle pursues him, and takes it from him

The bird who doesn't do anything valuable and just takes from the ones that are working is American as fuck at this point.

Seems like the perfect bird and perfect bill to pass for a bunch of people who live off the public dole, and do nothing whatsoever otherwise.
