Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Hegseth said we have spent $37 billion on an unnecessary—he didn't say an “unnecessary” war, but it is an unnecessary and failed war in Iran—$37 billion and lost 17 soldiers. He says he is going to ask for another $70 billion to fight this unnecessary and failing war.
Mr. Speaker, I will be willing to vote for a bill that has $70 billion in it when President Trump pays his share by paying his taxes on the $2.2 billion he earned last year, mostly in crypto, which cost the people that bought crypto a billion dollars. That is what they lost. When Trump pays his share, I will pay my share and vote for it. I won't vote for it otherwise.
President Trump, bring your chips to the table.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their comments to the Chair.
