The CBO has issued a report titled “Analysis of the Growth in Funding for Operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Elsewhere in the War on Terrorism.”
I ran the figures through the Net Present Value calculator I use at WashingtonWatch.com. (The amount you’d have to put in the bank for future spending, or the amount you’d have in the bank but for past spending.)
The results? A little over $8,600 per U.S. family, or $2,700 per person.
