Jeanne Shaheen: “They are watching, and we should be watching.”

We write regarding the Department of Defense’s failure to provide the American people with basic information about the war with Iran and its cost to taxpayers, even as the human costs of this war rise.

This is not only the right thing to do, but it’s an opportunity for us to provide some relief for so many families who are really struggling with high costs.

I’m proud to join this bipartisan effort that will cut administrative red tape, save money and make it easier for the Coast Guard to effectively collaborate with the coastal communities it protects.

Despite asking for tens of billions of additional taxpayer dollars, you have so far failed to provide basic information on how this money has and will be spent.
