Who Profits from our Fear?

As once again the confidence in investing has plummeted in the United States, our country has entered recession and fear for our futures has gripped the nation. With so much money being spent on trying to fix the current financial market, how is this counrty supposed to pay for events like the Superbowl? And even worse yet, how will Chicago ever be able to compete with other countries top cities in the race for 2016 Summer Olympic city? Well the Olympic Committee has stated that Madrid is a safe choice for the 2016 choice. It has been stated that they are the most firm city financially as the global credit crunch has hit, the one that started in the USA.

If Chicago is ever going to get this election, the city, and Cook County as a whole will have to step up to present a budget plan that will instill confidence in the eyes of the I.O.C. (International Olympic Committee). Other than that, the residents of the area will have to put these Perilous times behind them and see that a large check is not the only factor in choosing the host city for the widely viewed Olympic Games. We must not rally to fester our suspicions or insecurities, but we must show that we as a group are ready to host this spectacle.
