The True Cost of Overreaction, Hubris and Ego

I will soon write a couple of posts about the impact of 9/11 on the present. Here is a primer based on publicly available data..

Did you realize that the cost of the reaction is almost 10 million times the cost of organizing it? If x = half a million or 0.5 x 10^6 and y= 3.3 Trillion or 3.3 x 10^12, then y/x= 6.6 X 10^6 or almost 7 million times and by the time the calculations are revised it will be closer to, or beyond, 10 million times the cost to those guys- talk about leverage.
