This week, the Dime welcomed Lou Illar on the show to discuss his latest book and about gambling in general. The discussion was extremely interesting as Lou outlined how the government has its finger in the gambling pie. In the end, Lou brought it all together and related the government view on gambling to the government view on Wall Street. A definitely interesting show you’ll only hear on the Libertarian Dime.
