Re: Why we need to teach poker in the public school system.
[ QUOTE ]
With free trade, globalization, huge trade deficits, manufacturing moving off shore, our economy is slowing while China and India are growing rapidly. We are also lagging behind in mathematics hurting our competitiveness in science and engineering. Teaching poker in the public school can counter these effects. By using two plus two books we can enhance critical thinking skills, mathematics, game theory, and how to asses a risk-reward situation. Plus with educated poker players, and a global network of online gambling we weill have advanced players bringing in money to our economy. Money that we have lost from our declining industrial infrastructure.

Ignoring the rest of this, would it really bring money here? A vast majority of online poker players are already American, and poker sites make billions of dollars off of us. Can we really make that up in winnings from foreigners?
