The Iraq War’s cost to California taxpayers:
| Passed Congress, April 2003 $7.1 billion
Passed Congress, November 2003 $9.2 billion Pending Request, May 2004 $3.2 billion Total $19.5 billion .... How much is $19.5 billion? By comparison, California will receive from federal aid $9.2 billion for the No Child Left Behind Act, $728.0 million for Environmental Protection Agency programs, and $1.7 billion in Community Development Block Grant programs over the same three-year period. |
Current population of California: approx. 36,500,000.
Cost, per Californian, for $400B U.S. military budget: $1,333
Extra cost, per Caifornian, for Iraq: $534.
Cost of my time spent blogging about this deadly, needless war: priceless.
