Schumer Slams $200 Billion Funding Request -- WSJ

Dow Jones03-20 02:23

By Lindsay Wise

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) blasted the idea of a $200 billion funding request for the Iran war in a speech on the Senate floor Thursday, calling the number "preposterous" and "unacceptable."

"Let's be clear: If Trump wants $200 billion, that means he believes we might be in a war with Iran for a very, very long time. Two hundred billion is more than what we spent even at the height of the war in Iraq. It's more than we have spent altogether in Ukraine. It's an indefensible number, one of the most wasteful and unthought out budget requests I have ever heard in my time in the Senate."

For that amount of money, Schumer said, Congress could lower healthcare premiums for tens of millions of Americans, educate a generation and cut hunger in America in half, invest in jobs or refurbish the country's power grid. "It is ridiculous. It is beyond the pale. Such a large amount of money for a war that no one knows the goal, no one knows the conclusion, no one knows the path...Trump changes all of these things--the goal, the path, the cost--every day, and he wants us to spend all this money?"
