Debatten om OL i 2022 har jeg, som amerikaner, sett mange ganger før. Da i form av amerikanske idrettslag som klarer å få politikerne med på å punge ut for et nytt stadion, uten at folket egentlig får noe ut av det. That evidence is that sports subsidies cannot be justified on the grounds of local economic development, income growth or job creation, those arguments most frequently used by subsidy advocates. econjwatch.org/articles/do-economists-reach-a-conclusion-on-subsidies-for-sports-franchises-stadiums-and-mega-events Og jeg vet at nordmenn lurer på, What Would Bush Do? Candidate Bush got the taxpayers of Arlington to spend $135 million toward building his teams stadium, yet the Republican party espouses keeping government out of the way of private enterprise. The Ballpark stands as a monument to what critics call corporate welfare, yet his party advocates reducing welfare rolls. The entire complex stands on land that includes 13 acres taken by eminent domain, yet when campaigning in rural Texas Bush told voters he would keep the government from seizing their private land for public use. static.espn.go/mlb/bush/saturday.html OL2022 = Bush. Sånn, da er vel denne debatten over? ;-)
