WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The total economic impact of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is estimated at $1.6 trillion by 2009, a congressional committee said in a report released Tuesday.



1 of 2 That is nearly double the $804 billion in direct war costs that the White House already has requested so far from Congress, the Democratically-controlled Joint Economic Committee said.

The total war costs could grow to $3.5 trillion by 2017, the committee estimated.


The higher total economic impact comes from, among other things, the cost of borrowing money to pay for the war, the lost productivity due to that borrowing, higher oil prices, and the cost of taking care of wounded veterans, the committee said.

The committee calculated that the average cost of both wars for a family of four would be $20,900 from 2002 to 2008. The cost for a family of four would go up to $46,400 from 2002 to 2017, the committee said.

Interesting.................

I have a couple things.............it used to be the left wing liberals cried we are losing the war. Now since we are proven to have the upper hand their argument goes to the cost.

A couple things on that

1. What is the cost of Not fighting

and

2. If Clinton would have handled the situation when it arose it would have been done for a lot less.

Clinton is fair game..................his actions brought us to where we are today. It has always been that way a presidents actions will be see from then on. Of course I can see why you do not want to talk about Clinton, if I was a left winger I wouldn't either.

Yes there are men still dying and it is one of the most disgusting things. All the more reason to kick there butt. Furthermore I have never said it but if Your almighty Slick Willy had pulled up his apnts and acted in matters at hand there would almost certainly been less deaths. Many of these soldiers deaths came in a round about way because Clinton had to get a BJ instead of being Presidential. :mad:

You know the truth.

His bj was just an example of how he conducted his whole tenure as president.

He had no respect for the office or his duties as President................

Yep it is very possible that those few minutes he spent with Monica could have been the very minutes he could have ordered Bin Laden dead and saved 3,000 deaths at the world trade center.

Besides I imagine there was countless hours spent in the pursuit of Monica and others not just a few minutes involved.

On a more positive note it is good to see our tax dollars go towards something worthwhile for once. A few million, billions or trillions spent killing Radical Muslims is a nice change compared to all the other crap our tax dollars go to on a regular basis.
