The post-9/11 wars have had many budgetary consequences that the Costs of War project has not yet fully assessed.
Budget estimates do not include:
Some expenses related to veterans, including, for example, total benefits to veterans from state and local governments;
State and municipal homeland security costs;
Costs of the post-9/11 wars to the governments and economies of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan; and
Budgetary and economic effects of the wars on the regional neighbors of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan, including for example the costs of caring for war refugees.
