Olympic Fever Part III

The curtain is down for the Beijing Olympic. Now the most mind boggling question by Sis 1.. "Did China spend too much of its dollars into the Beijing Olympic for an event that lasted just over 2 weeks? Instead of helping its impoverished people that faced natural disasters such as the recent earthquake, billion of dollars were spent on building state of the art stadiums, swimming complexes and not to forget the spectacular opening and closing ceremonies" (For the record, the 2008 Beijing Olympics are the most expensive Games in history with a staggering total of $40.9 billion spent between 2001 and 2007 on infrastructure, energy, transportation and water supply projects).
