If my math's correct...
If a 15% cut saves 8.3 billion US, then the budget was originally over 55 billion dollars! Yikes!
Just for comparison, the total BC GDP for last year was about twice that (about 120 billion USD). So the Russkies had been planning on spending about 6 months of total BC GDP on the Winter Games.
