WE are the Budget Busters

I have posted several times regarding LA's refusal to build a stadium and get an NFL team. I've continued to think that while our schools are a near joke, teen crime is off the charts, and unemployment at God only knows what heights there is no way the taxpayers will support a single dime expended for a Goddam football stadium that will be used eight to ten times per 365 days. Now comes the news of the train wreck that is taxpayer financed stadiums in almost all cities where the tax payer is on the hook. The NYT has a major piece regarding the budget busting and municipality destroying aspects of their NFL stadium deals. Ridholz over at Big Picture has linked to this and comments regarding the wealth transfer of these stadium are "great deals for the community."
