Politicians Ruin Local Economy
Casinos were indefinitely closed in Atlantic City today, until politicians can decide how to fill a $4.5 billion budget deficit.

Of course, the casinos are estimating a daily loss of around $20 million and the state loses around $1.3 million in lost taxes per day!!!
What better way to solve a budget deficit? Just close down the town and drive the tourists out!

Yep, no money, send employees home, don’t have to pay them thus saving money by not spending theirselves deeper into debt. The federal Government has shut down a few times, almost always for only 1 day though.
