The final tally, reported in 2001 dollars:
Aggregate benefits: $219 to $695 billion
Aggregate costs: $59 to $88 billion
Those are some pretty huge variance ranges. I'd really like to see a breakdown of what they consider costs and benefits, before forming an opinion.
If anyone is wise on the topic, feel free to give me the Cliff Notes version.
I just downloaded the report. Give me some time to look through the 100 pages and I'll get back to you.
