A. It's losing, not loosing. B. People will gamble whether it's legal or not. Just like they smoke pot whether it's legal or not. Every bar with a machine has been paying out for years to the regulars, so nothing is changed, except that it will be legal, and the state will get paid tax. Same as if we legalized pot, another good idea whose time will come.

"People will gamble whether it's legal or not. Just like they smoke pot whether it's legal or not."
Spot on. Despite their delusions, our betters within the Total State cannot legislate reality.

That's going to be a drop in the bucket compared to the public pensions that we have to meet.

You cannot stop gambing, you you might as well regulate and tax it for the betterment of others.

they have begun trying to lower http://www.coachoutletmls.com expectations.Consolidated Edison, for example, tucked an especially http://www.hemesbelscq.com dire note into a news release on Thursday afternoon. It said the http://www.coachfactoryoutletion.com “vast majority” of its customers in New York City http://www.coachoutletonlinehl.net and the northern suburbs should have power by Nov. 11, http://www.coachoutletonlineef.org but a significant number could remain in the dark for http://www.coachoutletuso.net a week or more beyond that.John Miksad, the company’s senior http://www.coachfactorystorebg.org vice president for electric operations, said some “stragglers http://www.coachoutletonlinetb.com ” might not get electricity again until the middle of this http://www.coachoutlethcs.com month. Those living through the worst-case situation may http://www.coachoutletb1.com account for just a few percent of the 850,000 Con Edison http://www.coachoutletdi.org customers who lost power,
