At its essence, ECCA is a tax break for the rich that creates a taxpayer-subsidized voucher for private schoolers and a slush fund for homeschoolers. Because Congress cannot pass ECCA, at Betsy DeVos's urging, some are trying to sneak it into the reconciliation budget. ECCA would add to the ballooning deficit. Analyses estimate it could reduce federal tax revenues by approximately $10 billion in 2026 alone and by $125.8 billion over the next decade. Here is the bottom line: ECCA would divert funds from public education and disproportionately benefit higher-income families. We can predict where ECCA funds would, in part, come from: pre-school programs and funding for public schools, which are already targets of Donald Trump's 2026 budget. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-keep-ecca-vouchers-out-of-the-federal-budget
