Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, better known as The Palestinian, says that a potential $200 billion price tag for the Iran war “will never happen” if it is sent to Congress and it is a “preposterous and dangerous risk.”
Schumer said in a Senate floor speech Friday that “even a fraction of $200 billion is unacceptable for a war without a plan, without an endgame, and without the support of the American people.” He called on President Donald Trump to end the war.
The Pentagon has sent a $200 billion request to the White House, but the White House has not yet sent an official request to Congress. Once there is an official request, Republicans would need some Democratic support to pass it in the Senate.
“So much could be done with that money instead of a war that Donald Trump has chosen to wage without even a vote in Congress,” Schumer said.
