OT what the heck does that mean? would you commit a crime to pay it back? would you pull your kid out of school to work to pay it back? I see nothing wrong with people playing the lottery if they choose to do so. are you in favor of prohibition too? I have more of a problem with the states depending upon revenue from cigarette taxes than the lottery. I think a lot of you are just resentful that some people have figured out a way to take advantage of the system while people who did the conservative thing and put 20% down are screwed. I happen to be in that 20% camp but so what. I find it difficult to expect people to shoot themselves in the foot because others feel it is morally right to do so. This country is built on doing the profitable thing not the most ethically correct thing. IN fact some analysts castigated a company that im invested in, compucredit because they decided to go ahead and contribute $6 million to charity that they had already committed to.
