[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 2229325, member: 1246"] RIO DE JANEIRO—The governor of Rio de Janeiro decreed a “state of public calamity” Friday, citing a fiscal crisis seven weeks before the state’s capital city hosts the Olympics. The decree warned that the state’s ability to deliver basic public services to its 17 million residents—such as health-care, education, policing and sanitation—is under threat as it faces soaring payroll costs and Olympics-related investment. The state government spent 9.77 billion reais ($2.8 billion), its biggest infrastructure investment in decades, on a 10-mile extension to Rio’s subway to link a series of wealthy beachside neighborhoods in time for the Olympics. The U.S. spends that much in national debt every day.. 2.34 billion. [/QUOTE]
