Cost of Afghan and Iraq wars to date: http://nationalpriorities.org/cost-of/

Total Cost of Wars Since 2001 Every hour, taxpayers in the United States are paying $11.26 million for Total Cost of Wars Since 2001.

That’s EXACTLY right, thank you! Whatever the damn justification....we simply don’t have the money.
