Using government figures on enforcement spending and pre-prohibition finances, it estimates a total debit of $936,000,000 per year. The breakdown contrasts federal enforcement (after deducting fines) with large losses in federal revenue and state, city, and county revenue, framing the document as an assessment of prohibition’s economic impact on taxpayers. It notes that further economic analysis and discussion of moral and ethical considerations are reserved for later
