Quote: There is an unreleased report by the Dept. of Commerce
       estimating it will take $25-$75 billion to pay for
       the transition

$50 billion is a heck of a variance in estimates!

I suppose they could have said that it will cost
$50 billion, give or take $25 billion, and then the
variance wouldn't seem to be so big...
