Unpacking The Cost Of The War On Iran
Published 5 days, 10 hours ago
Description
Waging war is not cheap. Experts estimate that the U.S. has already spent more than $10 billion launching missiles at Iran in the past few weeks.
Meanwhile, thanks to fighting in the Strait of Hormuz disrupting the global energy supply trade, the price of oil is rising sharply worldwide. With no clear end in sight, how will Congress wrangle the high price tag of the war – economically and politically?
We try and make sense of the cost of war, especially as more and more Americans feel the squeeze in their budgets at home.
