But even without new benefits, the cost of the program is growing rapidly.
The cost of the program, $159 billion in 1994, is growing more than 10 percent a year.
And for 2013, the costs grew to 44.8% of the national budget.
The costs have grown from a few hundred million dollars a year to over $3 billion.
The added cost would grow to about $800 million by the late 1990's, these experts say.
By the next year the cost had grown to $1.7 billion.
But the cost will probably grow to more than $100 million.
Crime and the cost of living in the city also grew.
But, at the current rate, the costs in 1998 would grow to $258 billion.
Finally, we should not forget the very simple fact that the costs of research itself are also growing.
