Absolutely. THEY are responsible for their own actions. WE are not. Encouraging the compulsive gambler to blame the government for his lack of control ( I feel sorry for obsessive compulsives too, but like you, know that I didn't make them that way ) rather than himself is, as is all lefty buck-passing blame-shifting, destructive to the affected individual, that individual's family and ultimately to society.
This article makes me think there's a McDonald's-type class action lawsuit in the works. Instead of suing the government for "forcing" them to scarf a dozen Big Macs a day, they'll sue the government for "forcing" them to spend their hard-earned Welfare checks on lottery tickets.
