In a 2011 article, Forbes reported, "The best estimate of the cost of the 185 federal means tested welfare programs for 2010 for the federal government alone is nearly $700 billion. Counting state spending, total welfare spending for 2010 reached nearly $900 billion.

A 10% fraud rate it puts the cost/loss at $90 billion per year.
By your assumption the cost of war is $32.8 TRILLION/year.
