During the Great Depression, leaders like NYC Mayor Fiorello La Guardia aggressively went after those who preyed on the financial struggles of his city's working class. What we now call "The Greatest Generation" challenged citizens to help make America and their families stronger by buying government savings bonds. Today, the daily voice of government to most citizens during the worst economic crisis since then is casinos and state lotteries. After forty years, it's time government pulled out of the predatory gambling business because it is a failed policy. The video is part of a "25 years ago today" UN newsreel story issued September 24, 1959.
