Billion to the ayatollah khamenei, who chants death to america in front of mobs burning american and israeli flags. And even though it threatens the security of israel and potentially the lives of millions of americans, i believe that congress has the constitutional power of the purse but i believe congress can still do nothing whatsoever to protect the american citizens.
