US Support for Iraqi refugees

In USA Today, Adam Goodheart and John Bohrer calculate the massive amounts the U.S. is paying to support Iraqi refugees. It's a mind boggling fourteen cents per year per refugee:

Compared with occupation costs of about $300 million per day, the money Sauerbrey spoke of allotting to the refugee crisis seems laughable. She boasted that in 2006, the U.S. provided $400,000 to support U.N. refugee resettlement efforts, a figure it proposes to increase to $500,000 this year. (If you divide $500,000 by the 3.4 million Iraqi refugees, you get a commitment of about 14 cents per refugee.)
