Vote no on the $60 billion in additional military spending for the Iran conflict and invoke the War Powers Act to end it. The administration's claim that the 60-day clock can simply restart every time hostilities resume is, as Senator Curtis put it, "a stretch" — and letting that logic stand hands the executive branch a blank check for endless war. Congress has a constitutional duty here, and right now it is failing to exercise it. The economic damage is real and ongoing. Gas prices spiked at the start of the conflict and remain well above year-ago levels according to AAA. Economist Phil Dean at the University of Utah's Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute warns that the deeper threat is long-term uncertainty — the kind that freezes investment and hammers working families for years. Funding this war without authorization doesn't just violate the Constitution; it makes that damage worse. Senator Curtis has already said he'll withhold his vote to fund the conflict without congressional authorization. He's right. Don't let this become Vietnam — a war Congress kept paying for without ever formally approving. Vote no on new funding and use the War Powers Act to force a conclusion.
