GOVERNMENT & POWER • MILITARY & DEFENSE
Moody’s just put a price tag on the Iran war. Not the Pentagon’s number — yours. The average American household has paid $750 so far, roughly $100 billion across the country, through higher fuel prices, higher grocery bills, and the military spending now sitting on the federal ledger. Mark Zandi, Moody’s chief economist, says the meter is still running. Your gas tank already knows. Your bond holdings already know. Trump said this weekend the ceasefire talks are in their “final” stages. The bill, either way, is on the table.
