Democratic Senator: If Congress takes control, we will cut off funding for the war against Iran. Chris Murphy: I imagine that after the election, a decision will be made to temporarily continue funding the government, and we will postpone the approval of the budget until January or February of next year. And then, if the Democrats take control of Congress, we will effectively declare that we are going to fund the Department of Defense, but if that funding is used to fund this war, we will no longer fund the Department of Defense. As a result, the budget bill must include a clause prohibiting the use of any financial credit for the continuation of the war against Iran; A war that reduced our security and cost American citizens billions of dollars.
