Get ready to unpack the Big Beautiful Bill and the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) with pod friend, Seth Rau. Starting January 1, 2027, this act allows tax-deductible donations up to $1,700 for scholarships, creating the largest school choice program in US history. But is it a win for education? We'll dive into who qualifies (students at 300% of their county's median income) and tackle tough questions remaining - fraud, public school funding cuts, and the impact on vulnerable students.
