"they are forced by the the government's intervention to go to the Gambino family for money." Or forced to live their lives without access to all that unwarranted credit. It isnt heroin we are talking about. There is no physical addiction here. Not everyone who legally gambles now used to go to a bookie. We have expanded the number of gamblers thru legalization and i suspect we have also expanded the numbers of folks with dependency on credit cards by allowing them to be given out haphazardly. But i do understand your position and probably would support it if we were on the other end of the regulation spectrum on this issue. mike

LB, >>they are forced by the the government's intervention to go to the Gambino family for money.<< And just who's fault is that? If anyone is so stupid that they get themselves in such a jam, they deserve to suffer. It is a matter of simple mathematics to know how much one is spending, as opposed to how much they will earn in any period of time. They can do it by counting their fingers, and toes, even. There should be no government involvement, except to put the robbers out of business. The rest of the taxpayers should not be penalized by the ignorant.
