The Olympics a disaster to Chicago

The Olympics that may come to Chicago is a horrible choice. The Olympics is like a garbage can that millions of people are throwing their money into that which is not going to get recycled in the economy but burned. This means that the Olympics is nothing but a waste of time and money, which is going to contribute to the Chicago land economic downfall. Another reason that the Olympic is a horrible choice, the people that are being affected has no choice in the situation. For the simple reason that they don’t know that behind the scenes they are being removed. The inner city citizens in Chicago are not aware of the renovation that is being executed at this time. Sadly to state our leaders in Chicago are idiots. Even with all this education and experience or politicians still have no common sense. Even with factual information of the economic downfall of the city they still want to plunge our citizens into more debt. With the help of the Chicago government the Olympic committee is going to build the Olympic infrastructure. Even though there is a big chance that Chicago might not even get the nomination of hosting the 2016 Olympics. This should be considered as a waste of our tax payer’s money, so this leaves us with millions of dollars that are being thrown down the drain as if there aren’t other issues that need to have seniority to this one. Breaking down the budget for the Olympics it comes to be over 3 billion dollars. The Olympic village is going to cost 1.1 billion dollars alone even though this is just temporary. Now with this information being bought to the table is it really going to be a good idea economically for our city, to prepare in this manner for the Olympics? The politicians that are in power that make the decisions with the Olympic committee to bring the Olympics to Chicago are looking for two things. The first reward that the politicians from the Olympics is, they want to make Chicago look good by trying to make a name for Chicago. Not to get me wrong trying to mainstream your city is wonderful but sat what cost, and financially are we really stable enough for such a event? The next reason for bring the Olympics to Chicago is to try and rebound the economy. Yet again that is not a bad idea to try and do such a thing but at what cost? Did the politicians look at the effects of a event like that being facilitated thoroughly. When I mean thoroughly I mean the past present and future, did they take the negative effects of what might happen rather than the Olympics would be a great show. The other countries which hosted the Olympics had negative results from the games. They countries ended up spending more to facilitate the games rather tan the profit earned from it. With our present I believe that our negative balance will become even bigger. The reason I say that is the citizens might not pay to watch the games because of how bad our economy is and would rather save the money in their pockets. The people that are in the city is being removed not knowing, the living cost in the city are rising to high rates which the people won’t be able to pay. All the new houses being built won’t be buyable with the income of these intercity citizens. Then now it is easier to live in the suburbs than in the city due to the low living cost. Which means that the intercity people (blacks) are going to migrate to the suburbs and whites move to the city. To make the city acceptable for the white suburban people the process of cleaning up the city and renovating it has already started.
