Domestic costs of invading Iraq

Total cost to United States: $100 billion

Cost of Gulf War: $61 billion

How much is $100 billion worth?

- Three times what the federal government spends on K-12 education
- Enough to provide health care to all uninsured children under 5
in the U.S. for five years
- More than 4 times the entire international affairs budget

Additional cost of rebuilding the Iraqi economy: $50 billion
