      Legalized sports gambling in the U.S. would take the billions of dollars a year that are going overseas and tax that money which could allow more room for income tax breaks.

        Billions in taxes could be made just with the stroke of a pen

          Legalize marijuana.
          Regulate and legalize gambling online and offline in all states. We would be out of debt in a heartbeat.

                It would help alot, but not near as much as legalization of marijuana. That would basically cure all ills of the economy while releasing alot of creative & productive members of our society from prison in turn making room for criminals. Law enforcement is the only jobs I see being hurt from this because crime would be reduced by a great percentage. When you take the criminal element out of something murder rates seem to go way down also. Funeral homes may not be happy with this idea.

                  Fix ALL sports matches so the favorite wins more often, thus bringing more money from offshore into North American hands.

                    Your last great depression knocked out prohibition (of alcohol) this one should knock out marijuana prohibition. It's happening in Cali.

                      Can gambling fix a bad economy?

                      No. But if it's done right and the donkeys and elephants keep their greedy little hands out of the pie to get it done right, then it can help generate some revenue to help repair some other things. If nothing else, licensing and permitting Americans to only play at American-based on-line shops will keep the millions/billions from leaving the country.

                      In the end, however, we know that neither the donkeys nor the elephants can do it up right.
