Americans are poorer because jobs have gone East. Any Economy based on reliance on a casino is always going to bring bank crashes that hit the economy.

Unemployment numbers mean nothing if it just replaces a job paying $40,000 with one paying $20,000. There's only one sector that has seen wage growth. The top 20%.
