As being a little younger (as in not as knowledgeable) I would say, "sure, put a lottery in ar!" I am very conservative in most of my views, but I know ppl here in NEA drive to Missouri and TN occasionally to buy lottery tickets. Why not use it for ourselves? I don't think that the lottery would take as much from the economy as much as NAFTA does. If we're going to complain about economy, let's see if we can get the US Gov to take away NAFTA which allows the cheap labor in Mexico to take jobs away from the American middle class and they can import those goods without tariffs!!!! That is a crime to all of us, IMHO.
