This is a profoundly misleading headline!! The word "could" here is carrying all the weight. The report from which that number is derived gives a range of estimates, and the $1T figure is at the extreme high end. The median is $300 billion, the 25th percentile is negative $90 billion (it saves money), the 75th percentile estimate is $730 billion.
