Well Rand, if Trump doesn't contain Iran, we're not going to have to worry about the national debt.  :shrug:  No one wants to add to the national debt, but very few want Iran to have nukes.   One heck of a bind we find ourselves in. 

Sen. Paul continues push for Congress to debate U.S. role in Iran

 More than six weeks after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes into Iran, the most recent talks between the two sides collapsed.

Over the weekend, as a ceasefire was in effect, Vice President J.D. Vance was among the delegation sent to negotiate.

"The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement," Vance said over the weekend. "And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America. So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement."

On Monday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was in Elizabethtown touring a business. He spoke about the latest on the role of the U.S. in Iran, which was not authorized by Congress.

"According to our Founding Fathers, it (input from Congress) happens at the beginning. It's the initiation of war, and the Constitution says the declaration of war. It didn't happen that way," said Sen. Paul. "I would say this isn't the first time it hasn't happened that way."

Just a couple of weeks ago, reports emerged that the Pentagon was seeking millions of dollars more funding for the conflict. Congress would have to approve the spending. Sen. Paul says it's a price tag he does not want to add to the nation's debt.........

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Romans 12:16-18
