I want the names of each person that put a piece into that bill, and what their piece was. so much corruption and foreign back scratching.

Well here's one. The "Basic Education Coalition" thanked four specific congresspeople for including $950 million for "international basic education": Nita Lowey (D-NY), Hal Rogers (R-KY), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Patrick Leahy (D-NH).

The international basic education fund includes $ to improve and expand access to "distance learning opportunities."

That's great and all. But why are we subsidizing other countries' distance-learning programs when our own schools have been closed for a year?!? Can we focus on reopening our own communities?
