vic mathieson from holy cross, a professor there, had done the study of the most expensive summer gameseve and i will be told if i am wrong, these numbers are inflation adjusted. actually, you know what? yes, they are. these are inflation adjusted. if you're giving me a number of $10 billion for chicago, it would make it easily the third most expensive summer games in history. >> and the reality is you're going to have to build a lot of infrastructure, some roads. it's going to cost that. they're saying it's about $4.5 billion. but by the time you get done, it will get close to $10 billion when you add everything in. >> we know it's not just chicago. they all hope and dream on the numbers. >> right. >> you just double it. here is the point. does anyone -- what are the examples and how many examples are there of cities that have really been able to turn that huge investment into something with a longer term return because i can think of so many examples where you get this huge pop and then you've got all this debt and these empty structures and it doesn't pay off. >> well, you have to ha

in vic's report, we saw a clip from the president's internet address. he says there, we always think about the uninsured as someone else, but the administration is armed with a new study saying that half of people, 48% of people over ten years will face being uninsured. that's so important because a vast majority of americans, senior citizens, middle class, people who like their coverage, felt that they only had something to lose under health reform, that they only had risk to the downside. so, he's going to convince them that health reform can help them, as well. >> one of the big issues, and this was part of the outburst we saw on wednesday night, is this notion of illegal immigrants and whether or not they would be a part of this plan. the white house now says that proof of citizenship would be required before someone could be a part of this new health care reform package. for all the flak that representative joe wilson got for speaking out or at least that outburst saying you're a liar on wednesday, did this actually force the white house to address
