Franken introduces 'Pay for War' resolution

Al Franken (D-MN) introduced the Pay for War Resolution in the US Senate to induce Congress to actually finance the cost of war, rather than waging wars on borrowed money as has been the case in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Considering the $1.25 trillion that these wars added to the national debt, this bill is a prudent and responsible act that would put a more realistic price tag on our military adventures, and hopefully give pause, and political liability, to those who send our troops overseas.
