Govbase - How Policy Affects You

The U.S. military campaign against Iran is now costing an estimated $11 billion per week while disrupting global oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz — costs that will hit American consumers at the gas pump and beyond. Back home, a partial DHS shutdown means TSA agents are working without pay at airports nationwide, and Congress is deadlocked over a voting bill that would require proof of citizenship at the polls. The House just passed a massive spending package with $28 billion for border enforcement and $26 billion for disaster relief, while a proposed $231 billion rebate plan would send direct payments to families making under $400,000 to offset rising costs from trade tariffs.
