Seems like they did not include the damage to infrastructure in the surrounding countries and the economic losses worldwide. This reads more like military expenditure to me. The actual cost of this war is MUCH higher.

And that doesn't even include the cost of a caring for a new cohort of traumatized service members with inadequate counseling support and fewer resources for jobs and housing back home
Cost of residential solar install in CA is 30k.
$500M/$30k= 16,666 solar installs on homes a day.
Around 60,000 people a day.
Getting free energy for the next 20 years.

$500M/day would represent roughly 1000 megawatts of solar farm, per day. Depending on where said farms are located that could power at least 250,000 homes. For the next 25 years. Per day.

A steady demand and generation would eventually drive down the costs (unless there's a resource scarcity), generating jobs, related industries and r&d.
In addition, it would also drive down power costs and with it make power-intensive production cheaper, which might retrofit into solar generation costs.
And the longer I think of this make-believe magical world where politicians do sensible things that help us, the angrier I get on our shitty reality.

There’s some estimates that are considerably higher. Some of the official estimates calculate the cost of the object at the cost at the time of acquisition ie in 2010 a tomahawk cost $10 million but today it will cost $20 million (numbers only for example). Or they used v1 bombs at $100k but they retired them and will replace them with v2 at $400k.

Low on amo and rockets
Does that include losses (1 AWACS, at least 5 F15)?
The article answers that question.

This could fund so much daycare and healthcare and food and housing assistance…

The math is wobbly, to say the least.
