Brown University's cost of the Afghan war project just concluded that America's longest war cost an estimated $US 2.2 trillion dollars - that's 'trillion dollars."
If we add in George W. Bush's fake 'war on terror,' Brown's scholars estimate that the cost rises to US $8 trillion!
Most of this huge amount was financed by loans, not through taxes. Meaning that every dollar spent must be paid for by borrowing.
