And the Spartan IV will actually be cheaper now than the Spartan III program was.
Sure, as with each iteration of the Spartan program, the cost of refining the augmentation process while still keeping the results of the program on an equal level with the S-II & S-III programs would be expensive.
But once the refining process is done, the actual cost to churn out augmented super-soldiers is far, far cheaper than the S-II prog. and still even cheaper than the S-III prog.
They've alluded to this in the lore surrounding the S-III's, and again at the end of Glasslands when they were making the comparison with having to have young children for the S-II's but they can utilize full grown Military volunteers for the S-IV's.
