These guys also don't include black box.
Altogether, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost the U.S. between $4 trillion and $6 trillion, more than half of which would be due to the fighting in Iraq, said Neta Crawford, a political science professor at Brown University.
Her numbers, which are backed by similar studies at Columbia and Harvard universities, estimate the U.S. has already spent $2 trillion on the wars after including debt interest and the higher cost of veterans’ disabilities.
Wow, it would appear as though the NSA spooks have "erased" my comment, and the one it referenced, regarding money and the budget being fake. We've really gone around the bend.

Something about it had me off kilter all day, till I went back to see who made it, and why. This was the article that inspired it.

Follow the train of thought, it's worth your time.
Osama et al said their goal was to bankrupt the U.S. through expensive military costs... looks like their plan is working
and me, you and subsequent generations will get stuck with the bills and the fighting.
Obama et al actions indicate their goal is to bankrupt the U.S. through expensive entitlement and bailout costs... looks like their plan is working.

What good has it done?

Defense, not globalization.
Before you buy this shit, look up the producers website. Extremely liberal. Pro illegal immigrant etc. clean this shit up!
There was a time when ZH would have torn this post up. What? Liberal pussies now?
The only reason any "official" numbers are released at all is to distract the more intelligent slaves with debate over their meaning and voracity. The dollar is created by magic, funneled to wherever, and subtracted from your compensation without your consent. You're bound to figure out eventually that the relationship between taxes and gubment spending is an illusion. The system as it is today is the same as it always was and will not be remedied by creating more "accountability" divisions. lol
