NPP In Action
"NPP was an integral part of our series of Town Hall meetings entitled 'Agenda for a Shared Prosperity' we sponsored around the state. It was especially significant to have cost of war figures for each Congressional District as citizens saw how their Representative's votes impact their own locale."
- Gary Zuckett, Exc. Dir.

Cost of WarCost of War to Your CommunityAbout The Cost of War: To date, $1.05 trillion dollars have been allocated to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The national, state, and local numbers we provide are based on the total approved amounts through the end of Fiscal Year 2010. These appropriations do not include funds to support the “surge” of 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan announced by the Obama administration on December 1, 2009. Conservative estimates suggest the surge will cost approximately $30 billion and we anticipate supplemental appropriations for this later in the year. When additional FY2010 war-related amounts are approved, we will adjust the counter so that it reaches the new total at the end of FY2010.
If you should compare the amount displayed on the numbers in our information sheets with the Cost of War counter, please note that the information sheets include all war spending approved to date, the same number that the counter will reach at the end of the 2010 fiscal year.
