Combating global terrorism has come at a hefty price for the American economy. According to estimates by Mercatus.org, our efforts against global terrorism have come at a cost of 1.681 trillion dollars. Although the yearly price tag has fallen since 2008, the war has nevertheless proven immensely expensive.
