As of May 2008, the Iraq War
had cost Nebraskans:

$3.75 Billion

For Nebraska Taxpayers, that averages out to…

$ 1.98 million per day since the war began
$ 5,350 total per household
$ 2,121 total per person

These numbers are based on the following:

Total appropriations for the Iraq War approved by Congress so far

1892 days since war began on March 18, 2003.

700,888 occupied housing units, from U.S. Census Bureau’s 2006 American Community Survey

July 1, 2006 population of 1,768,331, from U.S. Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program

By comparison, $3.75 billion is $250 million more than the entire 2008-2009 Nebraska state government budget
