The Cost of the War

December 17, 2004 ( politics )

The Center for American Progress has a very interesting map of the cost of the war, broken down by state, and compared to spending on domestic issues such as homeland security and education. For example -- Texas contributed 11.5 Billion to the Iraq war, and has received about 4B split between education and security. And Texas has a decent ratio! Washington spent 4B, and got just over 400M for both programs.
