Total Cost of the War on Poverty
The financial cost of the War on Poverty has been enormous. Between 1965 and 2016, total means-tested welfare spending by federal and state governments cost taxpayers roughly $27.8 trillion in constant FY 2016 dollars. By contrast, the cost to the U.S. government for all military wars from the American Revolution to the present is $8 trillion in FY 2016 dollars.19

Calculations assume that war-designated expenditures in FY 2016 are the same as in FY 2015 (the most recent fiscal year for which data are provided in the Belasco report).
