how much did WWII cost america?
476413
I would say how much did it make america earn. America was just an emerging country in the beggining of the century. It got awfully rich after WWI, and awfully rich after WW2\n\nselling arms during the war, and reconstructing after.

Roosevelt was vital in stirring up support for the Allies in WWII. Without him, America would've stayed out of the war.

They would count the casualties on the other side if that information was available to them.  It isn't.  Don't you think it's important to impress on the American people what the cost of this war is in terms other than dollars?  I do.  Where do you suggest the U.S. media obtain reliable casualty figures from "the other side?"  Perhaps you could supply them, right?  Uh huh.  That's what I thought.

Do the time and find out the real facts.  70 cents of every dollar paid in taxes goes toward welfare and social service in the U.S.  Only the following thirty cents goes to infrastructure -- of that less than 7 percent goes to  defense and the bulk of that goes to local police , firemen etc, far from a militaristic imperialistic society.. If your thoughts held true, at the zenith of our military advantage, after WW II , when we had the atom bomb and no one else did, when we were producing an average of a battleship a day, we would not have stopped at Germany and Japan but continued on easily to world domination.

2500+....3000+ killed on 9/11.....58,000 killed in Vietnam.....200,000 killed in WWII....400,000 killed in the US Civil War......40,000 killed on US Highways every year.\n\nIn perspective, it's well worth it, IMO.

I have not heard that, but I believe the soldiers deserve it.\n\nAs for the other poster...I remember it being like $110 as well and always thought it was odd how they could put a dollar figure on hazardous duty.\n\nI wish your family the best with your husbands deployment and a safe and speedy return for him.

I object to a lot more than just $1500 per person on the war. Just the tip of the iceberg. A lot more misspent money out there than that though.

About ten cents in developing countries. If you want to buy it in the States and take it with you, it'll be a few dollars at any military surplus store.

Starting in 1939, the top rate was 75%.  It rose to 91% during WWII all the way until 1964, when it decreased to 70%.\n\nThe 91% tax was for 200k or more.  The full chart for the Revenue Code in 1954 is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Revenue_Code_of_1954

The Nazis didn't have dimes. They had marks and pfennigs.\n\nI suppose the equivalent coin would be a 10 pfennig coin, and that's worth today about one US dollar. \n\nAt least, that is what one sold for in January on Ebay. See link below for picture of the Nazi 10 pfennig coin of 1941 sold on a winning bid of 99c.

If you google list american POWs WWII, you'll get many sites.  They seem to be split up between Japan and Europe, so you'll have to do the math.

The cost is, the United States is expected to supply everything. Finance everything. And our soldiers are expected to be the ones out in front. Don't believe what the liberal news media is puking out of your TV every day and night. There is no such thing.

It depends on the size and condition of the falg and if there on any markings on it.  Try 1944militaria.com.  Occasionally, he has original flags on there and it will give you a rough idea as to their value.  I'd say an orginal battleflag with swastika and iron cross can fetch as much as 300-500 if it is a large Naval style.  Condition is everything though.
