Over 108 days, the war in Iran has cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $113.3 billion and counting. That's $1.05 billion per day, more than the Small Business Administration gets in an entire year, burned every 24 hours. In less time than a single baseball season, the government spent more than the combined annual budgets of NASA, the EPA, FEMA, and the Department of Justice. More than every federal highway, bridge, and road project in America for a full year. Every taxpayer's share: ~$691. A family of four: ~$1,360. For a war most Americans couldn't find on a map three months before it started. And these are just the direct costs. Brown University's research on Iraq and Afghanistan shows that long-term costs like veteran care, equipment replacement, interest on the debt used to finance it, typically multiply the sticker price by 3-5x. The real tab for this 108-day war could land somewhere between $340 billion and $567 billion. Afghanistan's first 100 days cost ~$31.5 billion. Iran's 108 days cost 3.6x that. The money is always there for war. It's never there for anything else.
