War On Terror Has Cost Almost $1 Trillion

While the Tea Partiers are complaining about taxes and health care today. Let’s not forget where most of our tax dollars go to. As of today the costs of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is more than $983 billion. That means on average, every tax payer has paid an average cost of $6,533 dollars. The only things that have cost as much as the wars in the past 10 years are health care, education, and pensions all of which cost taxpayers slightly more than $1 trillion. Source
