Iowa needs less gaming

The Iowa travel guide lists several gaming spots within the state and there are more coming all the time. There are currently several requests for new casinos to be built in different locations within the state, but the question seems to be just how many of these we can handle. I can be at no less than three casinos in under an hour from my location and there is another under consideration. This all started with the Indians and then the government found out how much money they could make allowing private enterprises build them. No one ever looked at the harmful parts of the enterprise. No one even thought of anything like a gambling addiction or the people who gamble away the rent check and grocery money. No one talked about the fact that a casino actually subtracts from the economy rather than adds to it. Of course this was all swept under the rug because politicians could charge very high rates and thus they could have more money to spend on any pet project they have in mind. Greed seems to be the biggest factor in deciding weather or not to all another establishment or not. At least that is my view
