２個數據供參考，一個是最近２戰的直接開銷，一個是社保基金0剩餘

"In short, the Social Security trust fund contains no money.  Charles Krauthammer agrees, writing in the Washington Post earlier this year, “When your FICA tax is taken out of your paycheck… most goes out immediately to pay current retirees, and the rest (say, $100) goes to the U.S. Treasury – and is spent… In return for that $100, the Treasury sends the Social Security Administration a piece of paper that says: IOU $100.  There are countless such pieces of paper in the lockbox.”

"The most recent major report on these costs come from Brown University in the form of the Costs of War project,^[1] which said the total for wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan is at least $3.2-4 trillion." 

That is direct cost only. 


Go figure.
