"...if you've got a depressed area with a vanishing economy, the two quickest ways to get jobs in that community are a) build a casino b) build a prison."
Its unfortunate that you are correct, because both jails and casinos are such terrible options. We have three large casino in Detroit (of course they were billed as a job creating measure), and they are nothing but money sinks. Each is filled with poor people mindlessly giving their money to the owners. But, there's no accounting for stupidity, I suppose.
