Frank said the rules would burden the financial service industry at a time of economic crisis.

“Supporters of the ban argued offshore Internet gambling websites take billions of dollars out the U.S. economy, damage families and serve as vehicles for money laundering.”

Aw bull$hit. congress was just pissed they couldn’t get the offshore companies to tax winnings. The republicans were wrong. Can’t believe I agree with this pillow biter but go barney. You’re right on this one.

On Thursday, Reuters reported the EU could file a complaint about U.S. enforcement of the gambling ban at the World Trade Organization.

SCREW the EU ans WTO.
If they're for something then it's BAD for the USA. Not to mention this repeal is Bawney Fawg's idea. He's never dome a thing that was pro USA, ever..
Plus, has everyone forgot that this little Republic of ours was formed to GET AWAY from the despots of Europe and all their 'rules'.

Supporters of the ban argued ... gambling ... damage families and serve as vehicles for money laundering.

Amen.
ALL gambling should be Outlawed on a National (Federal) Basis. And under the Interstate Commerce Clause it's totally Constitutional. Plus, gambling is evil. I've seen too many families destroyed because one was a Degenerate Gambler. It's a worse addiction than drugs or booze. It's far more insidious as the Gambler appears normal (not stoned or drunk). So sorry Vegas, Atlantic City and all the (cough) 'Riverboat' Casinos, ta-ta.

To all the Anti Smoking NAZIS who 'Gamble' -- Hardy-har-hah, how do YOU like it now. The 'foot is on the other shoe'.

(there is no 'Right to Gamble' in the Constitution)

The Mayor of Vegas took Fwank-n-Fwiends to task because they chided CEO’s about taking trips to Vegas.

Barney’s way of bending them over the woodpile. This is mean to hurt Vegas’ bottom-line.
