   Comments: There is a proposed casino in Rohnert Park, California, in which I live. If the President supports gambling, there will be a lot more crime. I work in the court system in family law. If there is more gambling, there will be more broken homes, drug abuse, suicides, etc. We need to stop predatory gambling. Thank you.

    Comments: Divorce spouce gambling habit My wife almost gambled us to the poor house. We been married 10 yrs. I had a vested retirment from a previous employer, and an some old rentals obtained from a prior divorce. She is 67 and I am 73.. I was working for another employer when we married. I retired in 2000, with a retirement income LESS than the health insurance premiums for us, and $1,400 monthly social security. I cashed in my retirement 401k [earned prior to marriage] plus some money from the rental house sales and bought a new house . Used a small inheritance [14,000] to pay off family car. She banned herself from the Missouri boats and I mortgaged the new house to get her out of debt again and got a new car. She put 90,000 miles on the previous car in 3 yrs. I have " bailed out' her credit card gambling several times[ $60,000 to $100,000] in less than 10 yrs. She informed me she was $23,000 plus in debt again in less than a year, plus 20,000 miles on the new car. When I refused to mortage the house for additional money she left. Now her lawyer wants me to agree to sell all property , pay off all debts give her half of whats is left , pay her $800.00 month maintenace, then pay her lawyer fees out of my social security which would leave me about $ 600.00 month for the rest of my life. I live in central Mo , I.

    Comments: We need to stop banks from predatory gambling, from taking dangerous and unnecessary risks that can threaten the entire financial system. Now I'm not advocating all risk be stopped but unsafe risks should not be taken and we should hold the banks accountable for unsafe risk taking. Banks should not be able to own hedge funds, monopolize the financial system (credit rating agencies that gave bad banks triple AAA grades before the financial crisis occurred should not have been giving them a free pass -- no more free rides) no more taxpayer bailouts, casino style gambling. Don't gamble with taxpayer money or your customer's money anymore. Stop gambling with depositor's money. Investment banks and commercial banks have to pay back all the TARP before they offer bonuses to executives -- the U.S. Govt as President Obama proposed should tax them to get all of the TARP money back (we already have most of it back but not all), govt should relinquish its ownership of these institutions, use antitrust to force open closed monopoly or duopoly markets like broadband Internet access and wireless phone markets -- in this case promote more competition in financial services market -- breakup companies that were too big to fail end crony capitalism and restore free market capitalism. Predatory Lottery Advertising should be stopped and all casino style activities by banks prevented.

    Comments: We've got to stop this explosion of govt. raising revenues by suckering the public. I only became interested in this because I live in the shadow of the future Mohegan Su , Palmer, MA. But tis has really raised my consciousness of how our government has stopped working for us and now preys on us.

    Comments: It is a horrid mark of shame on this country that, while we have hundreds of thousands of children unable to go to sleep for being so hungry we also suffer the gambling industry to pick our pockets for billions in annual profits. It is said that a people will come to have the kind of society it deserves. Oh God, what if that is true? What kind of society does a people deserve that claims to care deeply for little children while it lets them go hugry and without medical care even as it fritters its wealth away on somehting so odious as gambling? Actions do speak more loudly than do words. Our turning ourselves into a casino/slot machine addicted bunch of fools tells an observer all he or she needs to know about what we value and what we don't.
