Gambling Our Kids to College
Original Air Date: March 11, 2007 AudioLink_2007_0311
Show Category: Addiction
Show Description: There were two cases this week of large lottery winners here in the state of Georgia. Here's a surprise: I hate the lottery. Not only do I hate the lottery, I think it is abhorrent. I think we are taking money from the poor in order to send middle/upper class kids to college. But polls, both formal and my own informal, would indicate that most Georgians think I am dead wrong on this issue. What do you think? Join the conversation.
