Here are the knuckleheads: * Joseph E. Stiglitz of Columbia University is the winner of the 2001 nobel prize in economics. * Linda J. Bilmes is a professor of public finance at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and a former assistant secretary for management and budget in the U.S. Department of Commerce. And in determining the cost they included expense items that have been hidden from the U.S. taxpayer, including not only big-ticket items like replacing military equipment (being used up at six times the peacetime rate) but also the cost of caring for thousands of wounded veteransfor the rest of their lives.
