House Republicans on Wednesday approved a $95 billion budget framework that would pump more money into US President Donald Trump\u2019s illegal Iran war and push states to adopt restrictions on voting rights, all while Americans struggle to afford groceries and other necessities.<\/p>\n

Every present House Democrat and just three members of the GOP caucus \u2014 Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Warren Davidson of Ohio, and Kevin Kiley of California \u2014 voted against the budget measure, which would yet again set in motion the filibuster-proof reconciliation process that the Republican majority has used to ram through tax cuts for the rich, attacks on safety net programs, and other unpopular agenda items.<\/p>\n

The new budget blueprint, which is seen as facing tougher prospects in the narrowly Republican-controlled Senate, would provide up to $73 billion in additional funding for the US military, mostly for the Iran war. The measure also includes $10 billion to prod states to adopt voter ID requirements, a top priority of the Trump administration ahead of the 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n

Leor Tal, campaign director at the Unrig Our Economy coalition, said in response to Wednesday\u2019s vote that \u201conce again, Republicans in Congress chose to put their unnecessary war in Iran over the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unconscionable that any member of Congress would vote to put a cent of taxpayer money towards this war that is raising Americans\u2019 costs and costing servicemembers their lives,\u201d said Tal. \u201cBy voting for this budget resolution, Republicans are saying that this war is more important than lowering Americans\u2019 costs. It\u2019s time for Republicans in Congress to put an end to this seemingly endless war.\u201d<\/p>\n

Analysts have placed the financial cost of the Iran war at roughly $1,100 per American household so far, accounting for higher prices for energy, groceries, and other essentials. With families across the country reeling from federal food aid cuts implemented under an earlier Republican budget package, a recent poll found that two-thirds of Americans say they would describe the cost of groceries as unaffordable \u2014 up from 45% prior to the US assault on Iran.<\/p>\n

The budget measure that House Republicans adopted on Wednesday would do nothing to alleviate the nation\u2019s worsening cost-of-living crisis, which Trump has repeatedly dismissed as a hoax perpetrated by his political opponents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith grocery bills on the rise and skyrocketing gas prices at the pump, working families are struggling to make ends meet, and Republicans have no plan for them,\u201d Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) said Wednesday. \u201cTaxpayer dollars should be used to support the American people, not double down on this president\u2019s failed agenda and foreign wars. Congress needs to cut off funding for the war before more Americans are killed, not write a multi-billion-dollar blank check to the Pentagon.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate vote on Wednesday, House Republicans voted to authorize an unprecedented $1.15 trillion military budget for the coming fiscal year. Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), co-chairs of the Defense Spending Reduction Caucus, said in a joint statement that \u201cwhile millions of Americans are struggling to afford basic necessities, Congress is choosing to authorize over $1 trillion for the Pentagon, once again funneling billions of taxpayer dollars to defense contractors instead of investing in the needs of working people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe American people are sick and tired of funding atrocities abroad and want this war with Iran to end,\u201d said Omar and Pocan. \u201cYet year after year, the Pentagon fails its audit with virtually no accountability, while Congress continues to increase military spending. We should be investing in affordable housing, healthcare, education, and good-paying jobs \u2014 not bankrolling defense contractors.\u201d<\/p>\n
