I love how you post the article with no opinion Chris. What's your
opinion of this? My opinion is that anybody using this money to gamble
deserves a bullet in the head.

Why?
It doesn't cost you a dollar more. And if they are lucky they make money.
misanthropic whackjob
Sure it costs more. If they don't need it for food, they need less money,
and that's more I don't have to pay.
IMO welfare should equal a mattress on the floor, a blanket, and a can of
beans, and if you want more, get a fucking job.

I think it's hilarious, in a tragic sort of way.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as state-issued debit cards. I'll
tellya, I was at an Indian casino today, and I guarantee you the vast
majority of people gambling are on some kind of government assistance. I'm
just guessing, of course, but it is a very unsophisticated crowd at the
Indian casinos in central California. But it's been going on for all of my
lifetime. Before all the casino games came into being, it was bingo. Bingo
palaces were around forever. We used to have a healthy race track industry
too, you can see that changing, though. Last Thursday Hollywood Park
cancelled the program, not enough entries. Before the 90s, there were 600
card rooms in the state. Every little town at a card room. People always
gamble. Heck, the Mexicans and the Phillipinos still bet on cock fights.
It's sickening and barbaric, but still popular.
Anyway, I heard that very story about the debit cards while I was in my car
today, while driving to the casino. I also heard that some 1300 prisoners
somehow got the government first-time home buyer tax credit. I don't know
how they did it. The system is just so fucked, people are so fucked.
Fucking Meg Whitman is going to be our next governor. She's very anti-gun.
Probably be another Swartzenegger. This state is going down hill fast.

The article says they could be used that way, not that they are.

The updated LA Times article says $1.8 million was withdrawn from
casino ATMs. Who knows.
alan
obviously homeless guy walked up to the table. All of the floor people in
the area came over and said "Hi Bob, how you been". He placed $112 on a
number(don't remember which). The number didn't hit and as he was walking
away he said "thank you, Ill see you next month". The pit boss then
explained to us that Bob comes in every month with his social security
check, bets the entire amount on a single number and walks away with a
smile every time. "He has been doing it for years and he has never hit".
Not quite the same as welfare, but related.

That would never happen. So even though it effects you not at all, it
just what, pisses you off? And of course, that is all that matters?

Very good. Now, assume it wasn't a troll. Why does this bother you?
It doesn't cost you a cent.

Maybe. But since they are not going to cut off the dollars. What is
the point. Whatever they do with the money is going to change nothing.
Irish Mike
Other than their kids starving to death and them demanding more welfare,
entitlements and hand outs to replace the welfare money they lost gambling.

down.
Yet, $1.8 million divide by 50 million people in California is about
a nickle a piece.
A even better way to put it inprespective, there are several farms in
California that recieve more than $1.8 million just so they don't grow
food. Some folks get a few hundred dollars not to work, others get
millions not to work. What a country.
There's even more. These debit cards have to go through a debit
machine. Each time a person uses the machine the owner gets a cut of
the money. The cut is taken even if the debit was drawn in a
supermarket or a massage parlor. Someone is getting rich just by
owning ATM machines. Think of the cut as being a rake; we all know
what happens when the rake is taken time and time again.
Problem with capitalism is that eventually all the money is in the
hands of a few.

They obviously demonstrated zero skills in living in our world. WTF

fucking joke IMHO.

So how do additional dollars appear in the game?
johnny_t
When people get paid for work. They get created out of thin air at the
bank.
This is the beauty of Fractional Banking, the Fed, Liability/Asset
accounting, and fiat money based on Debt rather than gold. The debt for
the most part is what an employer pays an employee. (Which if it is a
successful company creates more wealth than it consumes).

So, The Fed (Federal Reserve) prints the money and decides who gets
what, where , when and how. So instead of a nearly zero-sum system
based on the amount of gold mined, we have fiat money that is printed
and distrubted by a person or persons. Doesn't seem all that
capitalistic to me.

The fed doesn't decide much. What the fed tries to do, is to make the
money supply balance mostly with the amount of wealth that is created.
It isn't as simple as that, but that is probably the largest
consideration.
If they create the right amount of money the system works well, if they
create the wrong amount of money, there is either inflation or deflation.
