People who believe history repeats itself must be smiling, as cash-strapped states consider allowing more gambling in their jurisdictions.

In the early 1930s, as the Depression rendered one in four Americans jobless, state governments raced to legalize betting on horse races, taking their cut in the form of taxes. As a result, Seabiscuit ran to fame in 1937 during a veritable racing renaissance.

In the economic downturn of 2002, states including Minnesota, Washington, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, New York, and Maryland turned to proposals for more gambling, including "racinos" -- slot machines at race tracks. Once again state revenues are being weighed against the "sin" of gambling.

Do you think states should welcome more gambling in order to balance their books?
