Idiot GOP Rep: Iran Should Fork Out $200 Billion To Pay For Trump's War
Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) made an appearance on this Thursday's The Source with Kaitlan Collins on CNN, and was asked by Collins about the Pentagon’s emerging plan to seek $200 billion in additional military spending to pay for Trump and Bibi's Iran war, and Perry came up with this doozy for how to fund it: Have the Iranians pay for the US to wage war against them.
COLLINS: Obviously you are a lawmaker. What's your initial reaction to the Pentagon seeking $200 billion for this war? Is that something you'd vote yes on?
PERRY: Well, that's the beginning of the... that's the offer on the table, right? We... all of Congress, including Republicans and Democrats, are going to want to see the granular details of what that involves.
Remember, the administration also asked for $1.5 trillion in military spending to rearm, refit, retool the production lines and so on and so forth. Is this part of that or is that separate? So we've got a long way to go. That's the initial offer on the table, but we have questions that are reasonable that we will get answered. And, you know, we're going to have a say in this thing. So we're going to work it out.
