Like any government estimate, DOUBLE IT. ($87bn???)

More like $180 billion. You just know these guys are lowballing it. Remember, you don't debut a new product in August? These guys are marketers, through and through. Just as $19.95 sounds better than $20, $87 billion sounds better than $100 billion.

Although, I think it may backfire this time--87 sounds more concrete than 100, and therefore may actually seem like real money to the sheeple.
