US media across the board is cheering on the Iran war even as it drives up gas prices and hands ordinary Americans the bill, a bad deal for taxpayers.

• Nearly every major cable channel is pushing to escalate the Iran war, calling for bombing Iranian cities and infrastructure.
• Gas prices have hit a record high for this time of year, and that pain is landing on regular people.
• Sanctions on Iran are doing little — China, Russia, and India keep buying its oil and selling it goods, so life inside Iran carries on normally.
• Moody's estimates every US household will pay at least $1,000 for this war, which mainly serves Israel's interests, not America's.
• Endless wars are draining money that could fix crumbling US roads, bridges, airports, and hospitals.

Outlook: With no ceasefire holding and media pressure to stay in, the war and high gas prices look set to drag on.
