It was hilarious to read about Illinois having to pay lottery winners with IOU's. This is despite taking IN more money than they ever pay OUT. Much more money. [Lotteries are guaranteed profitable by their structure.]
- When the mob ran the numbers racket, the payoff odds were much better and they NEVER failed to payoff on a winning bet.
Only government could FUBAR the numbers racket...and Illinois is THE poster child for governmental FUBAR.
Then I stopped laughing, and recalled that the government couldn't run a brothel, either.
When the Mustang Ranch (the most profitable brothel in Nevada) was taken over on a federal tax beef, it went bankrupt after a year of government ownership. [Brothels are guaranteed ALWAYS profitable.]
Have you perhaps been 'hearing' about Social Security and Medicare being in danger of going broke?
- The government runs them, too.
The same people who have run the US economy into a ditch, now also 'run' GM and ObamaCare too.
Anyone see a pattern here? Anyone? Bueller?
Channeling my inner Lewis Black: "You have GOT to be sh*tting me!"
