Athens, Greece, lost 10-12 BILLION dollars

That's billion with a B.

According to About.com, that was 5% of Greece's annual gross domestic product! Can we afford even the loss of 1 million dollars, heaven forbid 10 billion dollars?! The elected officials will make out fine, their well connected friends in the building industry will do well, but you and me, that's another question. How will I get to my office? How will you get to yours? 

You'll be hit financially once during the actual Olympics as you have to spend time doing things differently, and your time is certainly money. How much longer will your commute be? Sitting traffic wasting $4 a gallon gas are we?

This is just the tip of the iceberg friends.
