Good Idea? Bad Idea?

With Missouri lawmakers considering a measure that would allow casinos to loan money to patrons, what are your thoughts on the subject?

This propoal is certainly not for the good of the state. Let's hope this idea crashes!

Horrendous,absurd, ridiculous idea!! Whose welfare are we concerned about; casino's or poor people's? Because those are the majority of people who gamble. What immoral, capitalistic idea will the state come up with next? Absolutely abominable!! You get the government you deserve.

First it was loans at casino's now they want to change the state motto from "The show me state" to "The great rivers state"

This is so ridiculous it's almost funny. Every lawmaker considering this should be recalled.

The fact that this is being considered..., speaks volumes about lawmakers.

I guess if you can run a tab at the bar..., and after all, payday loans are available too. Sounds like a profitable idea; to keep extending easy credit to marks & alkies, so that they spend all their money ahead of payday.

Maybe they'll start selling lottery tickets on credit next.
