Utilizing reconciliation. It wasn't bipartisan. Speaker Ryan and the Congressional Repubs promised it would pay for itself and NOT increase the federal deficit and debt, that it would raise worker's wages, that it would create jobs, and expand the economy.

IT DID EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF ALL THOSE PROMISES.

The other huge difference was that the American people were overwhelmingly against the tax cuts package when it was proposed, when it passed, and to this day. The Covid Relief package is approved by 76% of the country and they want it passed.
