Senator Rand Paul criticized a $700 billion spending request for an Iran conflict, citing concerns over the national debt.
Senator Rand Paul criticized a proposed $700 billion spending request for a conflict with Iran, arguing that the $2 trillion national deficit is a greater threat to the United States than any foreign adversary.
Most coverage, including Reuters and TIME, reports that the Senate rejected the Iran war powers resolution and that Rand Paul was the only Republican to support it with Democrats. Benzinga emphasizes Paul’s criticism of the conflict’s spending and debt, while Newsmax highlights the Constitution as the reason for his vote.
