Even if a new war with Iraq would be swift and victorious, it will still cost the American taxpayer is not less than $ 95 billion if the conflict is delayed, that figure could grow even more.
Experts estimate of the budget of the U.S. Congress (CRS), the cost of military action against Iraq should amount to about $ 24 billion a month. Thus, the United States have already invested in the coming conflict, more than half of that amount.
The total cost of a new war is not to exceed $ 100 billion, at least, so say the representatives of American authorities. However, analysts believe that if the conflict will turn into or occupation of Iraq, the «price war» could increase significantly. Thus, the value of the host of American occupation troops in Iraq in the CBO estimate of $ 1 billion - $ 4 billion a month. It was expected that another $ 9 billion will have to pay for the troops to return back to the United States since the end of the conflict.
CRS experts warn that, coupled with the planned tax reductions, the costs of war can turn on the planned 2004-2013 biennium. budget surplus, the aggregate value of which is estimated at $ 891 billion in budget deficits the size of $ 1.82 trillion. Recall that just two years ago, in 2001, CBO estimated the total value of U.S. budget surplus for the next 10 years to $ 5.6 trillion.
It should be noted that estimates of CBO differ significantly from those numbers, which are called at the White House. Thus, according to estimates by the Office of Management and Budget Administration of the President of the United States (OMV), the size of the budget deficit next year will be required to draw up a $ 301 billion, which is $ 31 billion (9%) less than the CBO assessment.
According to OMV, today economists should not worry what the consequences of war would have on the United States, and the extent to which it is necessary to ensure the security of the country.
