Atlantic City casinos have been shut down since this morning in the New Jersey state budget meltdown. Meanwhile, some people in Kentucky think all we need here to end our government financing woes is expanded gambling.
So it should be instructive to some that Reuters interviewed some bonehead from Philadelphia who summed up in one sentence why casinos won't get it done for the Bluegrass state.
"I'm down about 1,200 bucks, now they're going to be closed for good so I'm not sure what I'm going to do," he said.
Who could possibly think more gambling losses would be a good idea?
Oh, how about Senator Ed Worley (D-Caesars)?
"To maintain state government at the level we're spending, the answer is expanded gaming," Worley told the Blood Horse magazine.
