The Iran War is costing Americans $2,000 per household according to analysis by @Markzandi @economics_ma + @CostsOfWar. pic.twitter.com/ZlV93Ab40y

Iran war has already cost US consumers an estimated $265 billion since it began in late February, according to economist Mark Zandi.

That means the average American household has faced nearly $2,000 in additional costs, largely because of higher energy prices.

I always know to ignore media that says X will cost the "average household". It displays a total lack of context for how Federal expenditures are paid for. The "average" payer is likely to be a buyer of Treasuries. The average household has little do do with it.

If the average household had to pay the taxes for this war, we wouldn't be in this war.

Have they ignored other deaths or just the Black guy?

There are probably other names that will be released in the weeks or months to come.

On another topic, pretty striking graph, and the reason the next round of Iran war will have to be short:
