Topic: State Lotteries

The hosts compare the controversy surrounding Trump University to the broader "scam" of the American higher education system, which they claim forces children into debt slavery. They criticize state lotteries for failing to properly fund education as promised and note that Hillary Clinton criticized Bernie Sanders for suggesting free tuition was practical.

The hosts describe a sequence of back-to-back commercials on local news featuring the California Lottery followed by Aladdin Bail Bonds. They interpret this as a commentary on the current American economy, where the only perceived options for the underemployed are winning the lottery or facing incarceration.

An alternative economic theory suggests the stock market will skyrocket to 30,000 regardless of whether Obama or McCain wins, as the public is not yet fully "sucked into" the market. Historical market crashes in the 1920s and 1990s are cited as examples where the public took the greatest losses. State lotteries are compared to these cycles as a way for the government to collect money from the public.
