      One thing should be made clear - #Brazil has a lot of (inexcusable) social problems, but no one would argue the World Cup made them *worse*

      .@Vinncent but besides the violent displacement directly attributed to the World Cup, protesters claim it robs funding from social policies

      .@asteris Money that *could have gone* to increased social spending. And it's a very valid argument. But it wasn't cuts to social spending

      @Vinncent @asteris in US projects like stadiums/large capital projects usually bond funded, not just pulled from budget.

      .@willcarless @Vinncent the right time to examine appropriations is now. Greece paid dearly for belatedly looking into the Olympics' tab.

          @Vinncent @asteris broadly speaking, what's the revenue stream for the bndes loans on the stadiums?

          @willcarless @asteris BNDES is the treasury. It's the government. They are subsidized loans, but they are loans, so a majority comes back

          @asteris @Vinncent I know bndes initially financed, but that will be debt too. They didn't just have the $ sitting around.

          @Vinncent @asteris public debt doesn't mean the lenders aren't private. It always comes back to Wall Street.

          @Vinncent @asteris it's gotta be paid back by the public, which is why I asked about revenue stream. Can't take out bonds wo way to pay back

          @willcarless @asteris Revenue stream for the treasury is taxes.

          @Vinncent @asteris sure but when you issue new debt (borrow money) investors require a designated "income stream" -- gtee of payback
