What matters in the world today is a high school football stadium in Allen, Texas. Allen high school is building a $60m field. A double decked, video score board, NFL worthy field. The money came from a state grant of $120m, which also went to building an equally expensive performing arts auditorium. This matters to the world because, one it is outrageous, and two it shows that people are having more confidence in the economy. Expanding on my first point, building a $60 million dollar stadium for college or NFL is just fine, but for high school it seems a little extreme. No high school, even in Texas, needs to have a $60million arena devoted to football. What it really comes down to is that poverty is still a problem and we shouldn’t be spending that amount of money on a high school football team. My second point about the economy is that if people are willing to spend $60,000,000 on a high school, then they must have more confidence in the economy. This is a good thing, if people start buying more, the economy will rise, taking us out of the recession; which in the end is good for America all around. So obviously there are better places to spend $60 million, but this is a good sign for America.
