Bernie Sanders<br />Introduces Bill to<br />Block Funding for<br />War Against Iran.<br />Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders<br />and Rep. Ro Khanna introduced new legislation<br />to limit funding for military action against Iran. .<br />A war with Iran could cost countless lives<br />and trillions more dollars and lead to even<br />more deaths, more conflict, more displacement<br />in that already highly volatile region of the world, Sanders and Khanna, via statement.<br />The legislation would bar the Pentagon from<br />providing money for “military force in or against<br />Iran” without the approval of Congress.<br />Our Founding Fathers gave the responsibility<br />over war not to the president, but to Congress.<br />That is very clear in the Constitution ... , Bernie Sanders, via Huffpost.<br />According to Sanders and Khanna, funding should<br />be invested in the “needs of the American people,”<br />rather than spent on “endless wars.”.<br />At a time when we face the urgent need to rebuild<br />our crumbling infrastructure, to build the housing<br />we desperately need, and to address the existential<br />crisis of climate change ... We must invest in the<br />needs of the American people, not spend trillions<br />more on endless wars. , Sanders and Khanna, via statement.<br />Ironically, Donald Trump validated<br />their point when he recently bragged<br />about the United States spending<br />$2 trillion on military equipment. .<br />The United States just spent Two Trillion<br />Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the<br />biggest and by far the BEST in the World! , Donald Trump, via Twitter
