The heavy toll of the war campaign in the USA: a cost shock that hit American families! CNN highlights the consequences of US war policy:
Americans paid roughly $130 billion more for gasoline and diesel alone. The increase in diesel prices has significantly increased costs in road transport, agriculture and food production. Families that rely on oil for heating may face winter electricity bills that are 50% higher than before. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, estimates that by July the costs of the wars for the average American household - through price increases and interest payments - had reached about $1,000.
