World War 2 cost 288 Billion dollars in 1945 dollars.
Adjusted for today's dollars that's 5 Trillion dollars. 4 years of spending.
Cold War cost 8 Trillion dollars in today's money. 30 years of spending
World War 1 cost over 22 billion dollars in 1918 money.
I am guessing that might be 5 Trillion today. 2 years of spending.
Congress has spent about 3.5 Trillion in the last several months.
Losses to the economy total 30 Trillion dollars In the last year or so.
Where is the outrage?
