A new $45.9 billion spending request from the Bush administration would cost Michigan billions of dollars according to the National Priorities Project. The spending request comes in addition to $147 billion already requested for the 2008 Fiscal Year. The National Priorities Project places the current cost of the Iraq War for Michigan at a little over $12.1 billion, with taxpayers in Grand Rapids paying $238.8 million. With the new spending request, Michigan would pay an additional $4.1 billion while Grand Rapids would pay another $81.4 million.
