Report: U.S. Wars Since 9/11 Will Cost Up to $8 Trillion in Interest Payments Alone
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This comes as a new report from Brown University's Costs of War Project
estimates that the U.S. wars since the 9/11 attacks in 2001 will cost up
to $8 trillion in interest payments alone over the coming decades. Their
report says the U.S. has already spent $4.3 trillion on the wars-and
that the U.S. will be paying trillions of dollars in interest on the war
debt for decades to come.
