The U.S. government has spent $904 billion since 2001 on wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and could spend more than $1.7 trillion, according to a study released Monday by the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a nonpartisan policy research group.

The study warns that the additional burden of accrued interest payments could easily push that tab to $2.5 trillion, depending on how the cost is financed.
