It's a $10 trillion loss based on static accounting, which doesn't take in to account the increased revenues resulting from American citizens having more money in their pockets to spend and invest, thus stimulating/growing the economy. A bigger economy means more tax revenue. Would you rather get 10% of $100, or 1% of $100,000?
