What price does the Olympics cost?

I am enjoying watching the Olympics but I have to wonder at what price this comes at to the normal person in Great Britain?

I think it is amazing what has been done in London.However when the world switches of their tellies to the Olympics and the last rubbish is collected how many jobs will come to East London and other parts. Will this mean more cuts, less money for pensioners and families? I guess it is a question that only time will tell. At the end of the day it is those people who will probably never see the Olympic stadium that deserve gold they paid the ultimate sacrifice to see their country in the spot light.They watched their pennies and had little choice in the matter, they indeed paid it all for Olympics 2012. There's all room for one more.
