Some have put the tab for this bill at $845 billion.

Well.... since I looked up the GDP on a government web site and then used the Google calculator and showed my work, I am reasonably comfortable that whomever did the calculations in the other thread is by a factor of 10.
To do a rough estimate ... suppose the GDP is an even 13 trillion. 10% would be 1.3 trillion. 1% would be 130 billion so 7/10 of 1% would be less than 100 billion.
The google calculator will also do the math in terms of percent
13 * (10^12) * (.7%) = 91 000 000 000
and even words
.7% of 13 trillion = 91 000 000 000
