bighairymike: How about clawing back all the unspent Covid relief money. Billions were allocated to upgrade and replace the HVAC system in all the schools in the country. Not sure that work was ever started to any appreciable degree but it certainly was not even close to completed.

Just over half of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds have been spent, according to the latest federal data. States and districts are on schedule to meet the September 2024 deadline for using the entire $189 billion allotted in three rounds of Congressional appropriations.

But you want the money back before the deadline for spending it? - commonone

---------------------

Not just me. 314 Representatives, 63 Senators, and Biden think clawing back some of this money is a reasonable action in the face of current economic conditions.
