A New Olympics

Creating an overlarge outside "gymnasium, " will not help the economy of the United States. Taxes would be at an all time high, as if they are not expensively high already. The government has to meet daily to decide if America can still continue providing public education to students. Affecting more than just the city of Chicago or the state of Illinois for that matter. The one mean we have in order to survive will be taken away from us, causing an even more dramatic effect on our reality.
Tax is continuing to go up in items that are unhealthy for us. Such as, cigarettes and alcohol. Overlooking the fact that people are barely affording to put gas in their car, the mayor of Chicago purposes that we have the Olympics hosted here as well. Saying that it will bring a raise employment and the economy. However, it will cut off major public transportation routes. More than half of those employees take public transportation, causing an even lower employment rate. Not everyone have private transportation or reliable transportation other than public transportation.
I believe that in order for us, the people, to be able to complete such task, consider what we need to take care of first. Try improving the school system, instead of wasting billions of dollars on one landmark. Try creating more jobs for those unemployed, bring the troops back home, and make peace again in the United States. Don't get me wrong, I am not against the Olympics being in Chicago, I think that we already have problems now, why try to dig a deeper hole? When the economy and safety is back in control, then, try to build another landmark.
If those who are working no longer be able to work because of transportation. Then the unemployment rate will increase, causing more and more money to be taken out of the economy(which is already low) in order for those unemployed to survive for a period of time or until employment is found. This will later cause jobs to close due to lack of production. Those employers may no longer be able to afford rent do to low income or zero income.
So, let's think about it. Should Chicago host the Olympics? No, at least not until the economy and safety of America is back under control. Instead, promote a better school education, create more jobs, and bring the troops home. I believe that we have enough on our plate as there is. Creating a better life for ourselves is what's more important, don't you think?
