question - would appreciate to know were can I find the actual cost of the Iraq war today - e.g. cost per month as an example.

US GDP is around $11/12 trillion per month with a workforce of 146.6 million.

Output per employee is therefore around $6,200 per month.

for example - if ongoing expenses for the war is around $2.5 billion per month this should add 400,000 to 500,000 war related jobs

How much the war added to the GDP ? may be all the growth is war related

What will happen with those jobs after June 30 ?
