Gambling the crown jewel in the service economy
Las Vegas is a service economy within a service economy. How is it that mortgage lenders haven't shut down the gaming business, don't they realize that the players are putting the rent money on the line, their rent money? Could it be that the chain reaction might cause more harm to the overall economy, and that overweighs the benefits of advocating personal fiscal responsiblity?
Listen to our President, who extols consumers to spend money, at a time when that advice may be the worst possible. Can such a man be trusted to run the country? Does it reflect a new economic reality, in which gambling is the pinnacle of Social Darwinism. (What happened to Jeffersons natural aristocracy?). It makes you wonder if Bush believes he got where he is by hard work, intelligence, and fair play, or he won the (birth) lottery. Hahaha, I almost had myself convinced for a moment.
