Casino gambling
It seems Florida is considering gambling as a way to boost the local economy. New casinos would mean construction jobs and then hopefully tourist trade, which would mean jobs for maids, maintenance workers, clerks and restaurant workers.
It sounds so good, but the proposal is not well thought out. Has anyone checked with Nevada lately? It has the worst or almost the worst economy in the nation because it heavily relies on gambling as its source of revenue, and when people are not prospering, they don't have funds to gamble away. Cities and states need to look for substantial ways of building the economy through companies that provide a real product or service that the public needs and wants both in good times and in bad. There are no quick fixes. Let's hope Utahns never consider such a shallow resolution.
