Pop quiz: what types of funding are provided "to education" in the bill that passed yesterday?
Edit: Question 2, what funding contains the prohibition on spending on voucher programs?
"In the education realm, the stimulus aims more than $125 billion at bolstering public education, an unusual federal intervention in a sphere usually left to state and local governments. It calls for spending $20 billion on school and college renovations. There's another $79 billion proposed for aid to the states to help them avoid education-related layoffs. In addition, more than $2 billion would go to the Head Start program, $13 billion to supplemental funding for high-poverty areas, and another $13 billion for special-education programs."
So yes, part of the spending is on infrastructure... but the bulk is not.
