After exhausting debate, The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 is finally about to be signed into law.

The legislation was passed on a strict party line basis. Every democrat voted for the bill; not a single republican joined in.

Whether you feel the package is an economic necessity (most democrats) or a spectacular waste of taxpayer money (most republicans), there's one thing we can all agree on: It's very long (nearly 600 pages), it's complicated, and it's costly: close to $1.9 trillion. Here's what that looks like as a number: $1,900,000,000,000. (According to Kiplinger, just $1 trillion would buy nearly 42 million cars, pay 18 million teachers for a year, or Lebron James for 50,000 years.)

So where's all this money going? That's what we're going to attempt to determine in this week's "Money!" podcast.
