When the WV lottery started there were all these claims it would solve

all the state's financial problems.

It didn't. The money seems to go down some rat hole, never to be seen

again.

Likely under the table, and into the elites pockets.

Its like the city's $5 a week "user fee".
With a ever shrinking tax base a mayor came up with the idea to have
everyone who works within the city limits "contribute" $5 a week for the privilege of working in town. (Started at $1, then $2, then $3, then $4.)
Makes no difference if one makes $1,000 a week or minimum wage, all pay
the same amount.
The money was said to maintain infrastructure and such and solve all the city's problems. We still have the problems. And the money has disappeared.

Par for the course.

You know, it must be nice to be a politician.
You want more money, you just vote yourself a raise.
Deep in debt? Just raise the debt level....

Tried raising the credit limit with the credit card companies, and
that didn't work. :P

When they try to offer me one, I tell them "I'm in Bankruptcy, and
don't get $1100 a month...I'm not interested", and hang up.

While I'm out of bankruptcy now, what they don't know won't hurt them.
