I remember when the Vancouver winter olympics was first talked about, it was going to cost 800 million. Final bill was 7 billion.
Far as I can see the olympics are nothing more than a way to launder taxpayers money into friends of government contractors and investors pockets with nothing for the ordinary tax payer but short term jobs on the project and low paying jobs during the two week spectacle. |
Hey Jamie, check out this link and then bring your numbers to the table as an effective counterpoint, if you have one.
Or anyone else who's in favor of this bid from an economic standpoint for that matter.
Pom pom wavers and cheerleaders need not apply. Touchy feely warm fuzzies are nice but it don't pay the debt.
If you don't think there's a better use for the billions of dollars from an economic stimulus basis then you're just missing the boat
