The Iran war is costing American taxpayers far more than publicly stated. Total war costs including direct military spending and economic damage to US households may already exceed 200 billion dollars. The Pentagon confirmed 25 billion in direct military spending in the first 60 days, but that excludes gas prices up 50 percent, jet fuel up 95 percent, Spirit Airlines shutting down, and surging grocery costs. Direct military spending is running at $400 million per day. If the war runs through summer, the Pentagon bill alone could reach 50 to 60 billion dollars. Here is how every American is paying this war — twice. WooGlobe Ref : WGA516255
