(12 billion) / (300 million) = 40 dollars from each American
According to your numbers the wars probably cost a little more than 100 dollars per month from each working adult in USA.
In 2004 the GDP was 11.75 trillion.
It is probably 13 trillion now.
(12)(12) / 13000 = 1.1 percent of GDP.
Twelve billion per month adds up to a little more than one percent of the yearly GDP.
In national debt was 65 percent of the GDP in 2004.
8885 / 13000 =
The debt is probably 68 or 69 percent of GDP now.
Ron Paul wants to end the wars and end wasteful spending in American government.
You should consider voting for him if you care about these things.

Last week reading the online news clips, the figure was 60 billion a month just for Iraq. Neocons just can't stand social programs so they divert funds to military contractors, which would be okay, but other things like farm subsidies don't get changed. There is no real budget.

False! Iraqi oil revenues are going to pay for all the Iraq war. President Bush AND Vice President Cheney SAID SO.

It already adds up to "real money". As for the answer that the war will be paid for with Iraqi oil money I won't hold my breath. I think the truth is that that the good old U.S. taxpayer will foot the bill.

some one has said what is in name .. but everything is in name...
The World Leader -- America, the protector of Democracy-- America.. has to ensure the New World Order ,,, this was what the Bush Sr. propageted to fight the Kuwait War,,,
and again , WMD- Weapons of Mass Destruction was weapon for Bush to start war....
It is easy to wound your enemy but difficult to stop the fight he will give you...
The War helps to enrich the Oil companies with cheap oil of Iraq. The war help to Test the New weapons manufactured in USA, war helps empoyment of weapon factory... war helps construction business.
Aand many are benefitted apart from the Glory it brings to those who loose their life in the Service of the nation...

and worser than that is that most of our taxes are going to the isrealean pockets to kill palestinians.
We are spending much more than 12 billion dollars over there.

It already is real money. It is a whole lot of real money. War is expensive, even after it is over. When a nation's major business is war, it can get pretty crazy.

NeoCon/ Fox News watcher Answer: "To Support the Troops" My Answer: 1) To show that the U.S. Rules the World and controls all the resources in it. 2) So it won't be spent on Education, Healthcare and Infrastructure (Jobs)-a healthy, educated and empowered populace is dangerous to the Ruling Class.
