Some Kentucky politicians of the big-government variety have tried to make the case for bringing casinos to the state to buy more big government.
Kind of like Nevada.
The rest of us may find a little humor in watching lawyers and big-spenders out west get ready go after each other like starving men on a deserted island despite the manna-like revenues from their casino industry:
"Expected state budget cuts could put Nevada's only law school into a free-fall, causing the Boyd School of Law to drop out of national rankings, lose vital community legal aid programs and leave students paying much more for a lot less education.
But the combination of higher tuition and decreased state funding could turn the now well-regarded Boyd School into a "diploma mill," informed sources said. Diploma mills, which are usually privately owned, accept law school applicants no one else will admit, often charge very high tuition, and have high rates of attrition and low rates of bar passage."
Watching Rep. Greg Stumbo explain how a similar disaster would not befall a casino-laden Kentucky might be interesting.

The issue is not big government. The intent of the founders was to have good government.
That's succinctly expressed by Thomas Jefferson:
"The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government."
Wonder why the topic of "good government" never enters into the political dialogue?
All the Repugs ever talk about is big government. Then they seek to make government bad. FEMA, the Drug Enforcement Administration, Homeland Security are three prominent examples of big government gone bad.
