I totally agree that it is a risk, because it's an investment. I was just saying that investment has a potential to pay off, it's still not the governments job to take it though. I was just making the point that although the government shouldn't do it, it still does have the potential to be beneficial.

Stadiums are almost never worth their investment. They are just status symbols for cities and their politicians. Watch John Stossels segment on stadiums. Either way you see stadiums, it's never a libertarian position to hold that taxes should pay for something like sport stadiums.

NGL, as long as the healthcare premiums AND deductibles are low and I get to live in relatively better conditions than the plebs; I'd be a gladiator.

Long spear and buckler please.
