AllSportsMarket Against Legalize Sports Betting

 

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — THE FOLLOWING IS A STATEMENT FROM ALLSPORTSMARKET:

DraftKings and FanDuel signed deals with the NHL and NBA, respectively. Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner, wrote in TheNew York Times in support of legalization of sports betting. Mark Cuban, the Dallas Mavericks owner, supported it and said a federal law change is the way. Recently, Adam Silver made another move and offered Chris Christie, the Governor of New Jerseyand potential 2016 presidential candidate, to join him in lobbying Congress to re-write the federal laws on sports betting.

All these roads lead to the same destination: DISASTER FOR OUR NATION.

COMMENTARY: What Sequester

Volume XX No.1: January 2, 2015

After the fiscal year 2015 CROmnibus was enacted, talk quickly turned to FY2016 and the return of the dreaded sequester. The fear is that sequestration, the \"\"across-the-board spending cuts mandated by the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011, is going to rear its ugly head again. That this mindless, unthinking mechanism that cuts good and bad spending alike is going to return and decimate governmental programs.

Except the talk is wrong. Or, more accurately, lacks an understanding of the role of Congress in making spending decisions and the details of budget agreements of recent years. Sequestration doesn’t have to happen in fiscal year 2016, or in any other year. All Congress has to do is come up with a responsible budget that raises an adequate level of revenue to cover desired levels of spending. Essentially, it simply needs to do its job.
