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

The White House requested $87.6 billion from Congress to cover Iran war costs, support for U.S. farmers, and the Ebola response. The funding includes $67 billion for the Defense Department, $11.1 billion for farmers, $1.4 billion for Ebola, and $500 million for D.C. restoration projects. Lawmakers face political challenges in approving the request due to opposition to further military action.
