Download PDF Chart of War Spending Growth from 2004 to 2007

$99.7 billion dollars. That’s what the Pentagon is seeking in additional “supplemental” war funding for 2007—for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and for the so-called “global war on terror”.

The Pentagon submitted this request to the White House on December 7. After reviewing the request, the White House will submit a new supplemental spending bill to Congress in early 2007—most likely during the first week of February.
