White House seeks $87.6 billion from Congress for Iran war costs, US farmers and Ebola response

This comes amid significant political opposition to further military action. The supplemental spending request also includes substantial funds for American farmers, the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa, and infrastructure projects in Washington D.C., alongside other policy proposals.
