Ex-San Diego mayor gambled away $1 billion, prosecutors say

However, it really doesn't matter, she took the money

But to gamble 1 billion, no way in hell , even on the five dollar machines , this would take years and years and years and more years to go through a billion. I would say 90 to 100 million over a period of time.

They throw around the 1 billion dollar figure for publicity. That makes the story go national.

She was mayor of San Diego more than 20 years ago. Not sure how this makes her "the people who run the government."

I thought she was a very dedicated public servant.
Thank God for the Federal Reserve. You can't have big government or big wars without them.

Mary

As a publicly stunt, the U/S Attorney is saying one billion

that would be almost impossible to do that in nine years, people forget, she won some time, some times huge, but one will lose in the long run


Nobody on earth could go through that amount of money playing video Poker, wait a second, Maybe Joel :lol:
