The prospect of a ballooning new spending bill has GOP leaders bracing for a messy internal fight.
Republicans on Capitol Hill are preparing to confront a staggering price tag for the war in the Middle East after closed-door briefings this week detailed the rapid consumption of expensive munitions and the lack of any firm deadline for the end of the military campaign.
Asked how much the Iran offensive would cost, House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) didn’t sugarcoat it.
“A lot,” he replied.
Senior Republicans privately expect Donald Trump’s administration to request tens of billions of dollars for the Middle East conflict and other military needs from Congress in the coming days, with some GOP lawmakers hearing estimates that the Pentagon is spending as much as $2 billion a day on the war.
I get what you’re trying to say but I think it’s totally reasonable for people to expect more proof that this is true than “the new DNC chair has said some nice things”, especially considering the fact that Schumer and Jefferies are still out there doing the same old bullshit
I absolutely agree with that statement…
I’m just disappointed so many people are managing to stay ignorant of all the other stuff.
Like, even as much as I get tired of explaining the same thing, you didn’t even ask, you just assumed nothing has materialized.
because billionaire owned talking heads on their TVs haven’t said it.
Like bro…
You’re literally what I’m complaining about, especially because when given an opportunity to ask, you just go back to that “billionaires ain’t told me nothin” well again…
Just why?
Why are people so happy not knowing shit? Seriously, in general why do you care so little to not even ask and just repeated propaganda again? This is bigger than just you, I want to understand why others do what you’re doing.
There’s still time to help some of you before it’s too late for all of us.
lol OK. Share some examples if that’s what you want to do. I’m not sure why it’s my job to prod you to say what you want to say.
Welp, if you’re not gonna tell me the only thing I can learn from you in exchange, kinda doesn’t seem worth it
I usually don’t downvote people to encourage discussion but this was so thoroughly pointless that you’ve earned them
