Calculate the local cost of war.*
Example: The Iraq war cost to Lansing taxpayers: $54.5
million
*The breakdown is based on a total cost of $207.5 billion estimated by the National Priorities Project by analyzing the legislation for the three allocations made by Congress plus the recent supplemental request submitted by the Bush Administration. The first appropriated about $54 billion for the Iraq War (passed in April 2003), the second $71 billion (November 2003), and the third $21.55 billion (June 2004). The fourth request was just submitted to Congress and has around $61 billion in Iraq War-related spending.
