“we need to make sure we pay for our war against ISIS. ISIS is a national security threat. We are just now coming to the end of two long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that have cost trillions of dollars, and we didn't pay for them. It is unacceptable. Our country has a long history of paying for our wars, and we need to return to that tradition. As a democracy, we should go to war as a nation and not put the burden on just the troops and their families. I am pleased to have the cosponsorship of Senator Sanders, and I urge my colleagues to support our amendment to raise the revenue necessary to pay for our war. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Tennessee.”
