As far as the economy goes, I think you're the one with the government job. Make yourself more valuable and you'll earn more money, despite the market. Gambling almost always works independent of economic times. Sure, there might be moderate fluctuations but, the reality is, most gamblers will find the money to wager. They may not find the money to replace the moth eaten sweaters or toeless sneakers but they will find money to bet.

You cannot convince me that the casino industry is showing a decline. If economy was the issue, all gambling would be off. It's not.

Point? Atlantic City is being hit by casino expansion. Again, I'm talking about the nationwide casino dollars being spent vs. the nationwide racing dollars being spent. Racing is declining at a free fall rate. If the economy was the issue, overall gambling should be declining at the same rate.

Show me that article...
