Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says the biggest threat to America’s national security isn’t Iran. It’s the nearly $40 trillion the country owes.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked Congress on Tuesday for an additional $67 billion to fund the war in Iran, on top of a proposed jump in the Pentagon’s base budget from roughly $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion. He also disclosed the war has already cost taxpayers $37.5 billion, up from a $29 billion estimate in May.
