Olympic Costs

The Olympics really should be held only in places capable of hosting it and I agree with everything that everyone has said so far. But even if any nation falls into that amount of debt, and if months or days down the line it seems like that county is having a debt problem because of the Olympics, something should be done. The countries that participated should chip in their fair amount for the debt. A proper price should also be set on the hosting of the Olympics as well though. Hosting of the Olympics brings pride to the nation, brings more tourism and the city that its hosted in is boosted to a new high. The fact that so much is spent on the city is part of the reason the country goes into debt. So if the Olympics are held in any given city, the price should be taken into consideration before entering a poorer country. Unless the participating countries demand it to be the place, and would pay to do so, the Olympics should only be held in cities that can afford it.
And with all due respect, having all these posts might get a little on the annoying side... Its going to make it a lot harder to find the original when we have thirty of these posts down the road.
