Prices up, yes. As for recklessness, look at the huge success of casinos 
nationwide. We are a nation of gamblers; we have a history of it, in land, 
business and at the gaming table. As for net gain or loss to the economy, 
we can speculate on whether a huge inflow of investment capital would make 
American businesses grow stronger through additional research and 
development and opening new markets. It would most certainly lower their 
capital costs.
