Olympics 2012, Recession?

So, just watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic games and well it was amazing..It just made me think about it. All of europe seems to be struggling economy/money wise and there in the UK were millions spend on an opening ceremony that took a few hours. Really, was that wise? Is it not better to be a bit more sober in these times?

I must admit it was a great opening but considering the current economic crisis we are in, was it all necessary?

Just had to share this. Admitting I will be watching the games, just something to think about..
