The Cost of Iraq War calculator is set to reach $378 billion March 31, 2007.
The point is not if America is willing to pay this for safety. They point at what amount will the tipping point be? That is the point at which a knock on financial effect will be put in motion. It is fine to say I have x amount of dollars and will pay 50% of that; or 80% of that but what happens if the US goes into long term depression? What happens if China decided it want to call in some of the money the US owes it.
I can guarantee you, that China will milk the US. It will keep the US alive but weak.

No such thing as a war on terror!
Think you should start with the lost lives, and not the money!!
How is this figur for you, with most going to corporations!
$87,000,000,000.00
We are spending Three-hundred-fifteen billion dollars a year!
This is the amount of money the US has allocated for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to be spent by September 30, 2006, the end of the fiscal year. And the Senate is working on a spending bill that will add another $50 billion more in spending for 2007.
This pile is 125 feet wide, 200 feet deep, and 450 feet tall.
450 feet is the height of a 38-story building. It's the hieght of the Millenium Wheel in London. It is also the height of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas and the Louisiana State Capitol Building.
If you were to stack the money in a single stack, your stack would be 19,887 miles tall, enough to wrap the Moon at its equator almost 3 times.

Don't worry, when Hillary is elected she will raise taxes and end the war. So, all the thousands of evil Americans that work for that list of hundreds of evil defense contractors will get fired and be out of a job. At last, their evilness and the evilness of their company will be at an end. In addition to being out of work they will owe the government tons of dollars in taxes, so HAHA on them.

Like 100 trillion dollars. But only about 10 bucks actually go to real work. And the rest get lost some where.

Small in comparison to what multiple strikes the likes of 9/11 could amount to.

I'm not sure.
Probably BILLIONS.
But, then again, what is the cost of being blown to smithereens?
