How much does the war on drugs really cost?I am wondering how to find out how much is spent by the United States annually on the war on drugs for all costs in this country and throughout the world (not the dollars the other countries are spending, but any dollars we are giving them to assist them in their war on drugs or money we spend in other countries to provide personnel or services for the war on drugs). This would include, but not be limited to, the costs expended by the DOJ, DEA, DOD, CIA, FBI, ONDCP, ATF, regional and local drug task forces, border patrol, state and local police. It also should include the cost of getting all of the arrested people through the criminal justice system, and finally the cost of incarcerating all the people that wind up being incarcerated (and the cost of moving them from prison to prison like they are doing with Marc Emery). Also please include any other costs that you are aware of that I have not mentioned. If you have any information about the probably unknowable sum that is being spent in the war on drugs that is the money recovered from asset forfeiture that is then being used to fund additional war on drug activity, that would be good to know as well. I am trying to get an idea of the total amount we spend on this so I can compare it to the total cost of other things that we "can't afford to pay for as a country". If this is too much information for you to produce, perhaps you can just give me a few ideas as to where I might look this information up. Thank you! |
