Sunday, October 19, 2003The tort system costs about $200 billion a year, according to the Manhattan Institute, and the president's Council of Economic Advisors says at least $87 billion of that is pure waste. (Note to the truly conspiracy-minded: The council came up with its figure before the appropriations request was final.) On second thought, that last item might not be too appealing to most of the folks opposing the Iraq supplemental. After all, THE SCRAPBOOK assumes that the massive donations to Democratic candidates that trial lawyers are in the habit of making were counted in the 'pure waste' category. Heh.
