How much did 9/11 cost? Billions upon billions and we are still paying for it.

it's sad that the world has come to the point where my first thought wasn't "wow, that's a lot of money" nut instead was "I wonder what the economists political affiliation is?" In order for one to determine if it's a lot of money one needs to determine if the source is telling the truth. One part of determining the truth may be to determine the sources political affiliation.
I find it sad when one doesn't question the legitimacy of an economist and the factual content of what the economist is saying.

If you are Dark's friend ask him about RBKA, or look at the list and see if you have any friends there, who can nominate you. If all else fails, you can just get on a paving thread and ask to join. :-)

In today's money it is over $ 1.5 trillion.From the article:
"The war's direct cost in money terms was $4 trillion (in then-current dollars)."

OK thanks. I did not read the link he provided, but I knew from previous reading that WWII cost the US $ 350 billions of that period money.

Dear Mr Jim Robinson,
I simply MUST protest the latest series of ZOTS. Sir, we simply MUST have a better caliber of troll provided by your Website. The utter imbecility, Pre-school level humor and complete lack of even a nodding acquaintance with reality demonstrated by today's series of trolls simply was not up to the high standards we expect from Free Republic.
I mean, how can one be expected to generate really witty crushing repartee when the troll in question doesn't even warrant a Z must less the full ZOT? All we are asking, Sir, are foes worthy of our steel! Please NO more cases, such as today, of such a collection of gibber refugees from a DNA reclamation project! Did you REALLY think we would believe today's trolls could POSSIBLE claim human sapience?
Thank you for your prompt assistance in this matter.
