Charlie, $2.7B in private school money from D-s is indeed remarkable

to compare, 2020 bill had $42B for schools,
of K-12, 70 percent went to public schools and 30 percent went to private or charter schools

here are some items in the bill, as reported by covidmoneytracker:
Expand Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to $3,000 ($3,600 for children under age 6) and make it fully refundable for one year $110 billion
Expand Earned Income Tax Credit to childless adults for one year, tripling the credit, and include those aged 19-24 and over 65. Permanently allow recipients to have more investment income and expand the EITC in territories $23 billion
[ 2 policies above – for children for childless people, basicly to anyone]

Provide grants to multi-employer pension plans and change single-employer pension funding rules $58 billion
Expand Affordable Care Act subsidies by reducing the maximum cost of insurance plans $34 billion
Increase base Medicaid match to states that newly expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act $16 billion
Allow states to expand Medicaid coverage for prisoners close to release and for pregnant and postpartum women for 5 years $9 billion [no breakdown between these 2 groups 🙂
