And how many BILLION$ upon BILLION$ has ‘education’ received from the State lotteries across the nation?
That is really a 'trick' question.
See... the State does receive BILLION$ upon BILLION$ from the Casinos. It goes right into the State General Fund.
The State gives the schools money out of that fund... after it funds everything else. Somehow, very little is left... every time and every state. The Counties have to raise taxes to help the schools because the 'funding' from the state is 'limited'.
This is the reason that States decided to allow organized gambling. A big kitty of money they could steal from and get away with it.
Another thought... IF the schools received the full amount of money that actually comes from the casinos, we could probably have one teacher per student.
