In the good ole days plenty of casinos did just fine by catering to their customer and understanding the market. I don't feel sorry for any casino that goes under. The mother (why the heck did she have so many kids? Now would be a good time to send the older ones out to work in fast food restaurants) can file for unemployment benefits, sell all the stuff she bought when times were better, and look for another job. Yep, jobs are hard to come by, but hey, it couldn't have been easy giving birth five times either.

Here's an article that talks about almost 2000 Nevadan's who have lost their jobs to this economic downturn. They don't have to worry about a 6% cut in their income, because now they have no income...

So let's raise taxes, increase fees on goods and see how these 2000 folks out of a job can help keep State workers employed at their current wages..

I bet if these 2000 workers had a choice, they would rather take a 6% cut then lose their jobs completely...

This is reality.

Those fingers need to be pointed at elected officials and they must all be voted out of office. They've been in office and helped create this situation and now they're telling us they're have the answers? We're only stupid if we re-elect them. As for Obama's plan, what is it? A calculatedly written and appropriately sternly delivered speech is not a plan. It was long on tone and dire predictions, short on specifics. I wish him luck, as anything he does will affect all of us for years to come, but I don't know how he plans to deal with the reality of government. For example, here in Los Angeles, there're streets that need repaving and the horizon for that work stretches out 70 years. As ludicrous as that sounds, it's true. Now, let's say Obama's money wand grants L.A. cash to repave those streets now, meaning immediate employment, materials to be paid for, etc. Sounds good so far. Except that this is Los Angeles, where the mayor and city clowncil have raised garbage fees twice in the last 4 years to "pay for more police officers." And within 2 weeks of passing the first increase, they told residents that, well, surprise - some of the fees would be diverted to other programs. There's such entrenched corruption amongst the lying long term politicians and entrenched union civic infrastructure that it's anyone's guess where Obama dollars would actually end up. This is only one city, and these are the party people that helped elect him. How will Obama handle that? Good luck, and I sincerely mean that. In the meantime, kick out ALL incumbents when the chance arises.

Obama is going to send you a check for $2,000 to stimulate the economy - that is, if you are a single, black mother with 4 kids, all from different daddys, who all have ran far away from the resident ho. But, how is $2000 spent on crack going to trickle down?

If these machines were indeed true and tamper proof, why is it they seem to tighten up when a 'recession' hits? You can't tell me these casinos don't make changes on these machines and their boards, no way, no how. Cheating 101.

Steve wrote on January 11, 2009 07:57 AM: Callie,



You are almost correct. IMHO, "stupid people" are the ones who aren't intelligent enough to know the Dems have been in charge of Congress for the last 2 years. That's why they acquired a larger majority in this last election; because voters in general are so ignorant they don't even know who's in charge. I do agree that both parties are responsible for what is going on. However, it's not correct to lie about the Republicans being in charge for the last 8 years either. Additionally, it wasn't Republicans who were in charge the previous 6 years..it was a bunch of RINOs like Guinn who used to be in charge in Nevada.
