It doesn't slip past our eyes... but what do we know... we're just VOTERS! We've been fighting these idiots for 10 years... the last two, they've been winning. At some point, surely common sense, personal freedom, and individual liberty will prevail... yes, even in America.

This is ridiculous, Americans spending their money how they see fit is their own business. So congress goes so far to stop kids from gambling, but it slips past everyone's eyes to see the kids with Cigarettes and Beer. I cannot believe how messed up things get. Fight the good fight J. Todd!

In regard to online gambling? I don't think so. But we got 'em for sure in basketball! =0)

Absolutely correct! I believe that UIGEA was --- and still is --- the attempt of the land based casinos industry in the US trying the destroy the market... or at least "thin the field" so they can buy them out and/or monopolize the entire industry in the America.

Could NOT agree more!!! I could have spent the entire video talking about this issue, and how congress and the media used it, but it's only 10 MINUTES LONG!

many kids max out thier credit cards in school on a variety of thing usually expesive electronics clothes furniture parties fun...most people spend many years paying that money back or claim bankruptcy not robbing banks! the kid did the most irresponsable thing on multiple occasions i have little sympathy for him. in new york state those 1000's of pounds of explosives are illegal.

Happy 4th J. Todd! Another informative video. The US Congress should take a cue from France and regulate the online gaming industry. I think that when the US Gaming industry realizes that brick and mortars like CircusCasino * com are seeing the writing on the wall and benefiting from being online in a regulated setting they will payoff the US politicians and we will see change. Maybe by next year we will win this fight and have another reason to celebrate the 4th! Todd @ 21Club

Hello, my good friend =0) I agree 100% that we are all responsible for ourselves... or we at least should be. And that college kid could have been identified and helped had there been proper Reg's in place. Besides, many people get way in debt during college. I ran up $4,800 on my AmEx card, but I didn't go out and steal or rob. It's all about the person, and that guy had more issues than just gambling. He could have just as easily fell victim to alcohol and robbed a liquor store.

Credit card companies have their hand in a lot of debt problems. THE root is of course the one with the hand on the money trigger, or those repsonsible for that person, yet Amex etc could be a bit more responsible than handing out credit like candy bars. And why aren't mortgage brokers and banks not villified? They set so many people up for lifelong debt that it dwarves anything else. Online gambling has never been at threat to the world economy. btw great show again.
