It's funny how ppl believe in the liars on tv spewing garbage. This is their budget.

https://www.vancouver2010.com/dl/00/...ary_30d-Xu.pdf

The money's coming from ticket sales and mainly this:

IOC Contribution 447,009,841
IOC International Sponsorship 196,355,999
Domestic Sponsorship 756,815,478

They're blowing 1.7 Billion here to run the Games. It's not even our tax money. How is this a bad thing? Go out there and get your slice of that. No one's gonna hand it to you.

Feel free to whine about these instead:
Canada Line (~1/2 of it)
S2Sky
Olympic Venues
Security
Convention Centre

As much as I think the Olympics are a big unecessary waste of money, he's right. VanOC themselves aren't technically over budget. They use mostly sponsorship money for all thing things they do. The people who DID screw us over are City of Richmond and City of Vancouver with crap building planning/management for the venues.
