A new report from the Brown University Costs of War Project estimates that US taxpayers have paid an average of $8,000 each and over $2 trillion total for the Iraq war alone.
-
The group says the actual costs of war exceed the Pentagon's approved budgets, spilling into other parts of the federal budget.
-
Unlike most wars in history, the war is financed by borrowing money, which leads to huge interest payments — not to mention increased pay to retain soldiers and medical and disability care.

Aside from the staggering cost of the Iraq War, the group estimates the US has spent over $6.4 trillion total on all of its "War on Terror" efforts.
