This is total bs. i especially like this
But Reid defended the spending, saying that the "government is the only body that has any money" to spend to prop up the sagging economy.
that refrain is getting old already. Spent 780 billion last week, 418 billion this week, plans to spend 634 billion on healthcare.....
30 days.....
closing in on 2 trillion
This is like my wife getting trillion dollar Amex and hitting the mall....spend spend spend till it doesnt work anymore. She then calls the card "broken". The country is going to be broken for sure with these out of touch people like Reid in charge.

You're the one who's badly out of touch. Tracks like Turfway need to close, and trying to keep a bad product going just keeps showing everyone that the industry wants to prop up a bad product by getting money from slot players. You don't want to pay taxes to the GOV'T, but you sure want to GOV'T to get money from slots players to pay purses for bad races. I don't have any great love for slot players, but the TURFWAY type product s-u-c-k-s, and you shouldn't blame politicians for being tired of these tracks not providing their own purses. Maybe they don't want to prop this crap up using money from people that have no interest in horseracing. Run at larger tracks, and fill up the damn card. All these large tracks should have big fields like many of the races at Gulfstream have. You like stuff that works efficiently, and without waste. Well, that's not TURFWAY. It's not making enough to pay good purses, because the racing s-u-c-k-s there(bad product.) Race at the premier tracks(even if it's in cheap races there.) The industry is hurt by all these crappy tracks cutting field size at the premier tracks. The answer is to have more cheap races written at big tracks, and run larger fields there. There shouldn't be small fields at our premier tracks. That's a disgraceful embarassment in American Racing.
