Michael Bane letter to legislators

[Dave]

Too bad all they think about is how much money Bloomberg is giving them and they can say that taxes on pot will replace lost dollars from hunting shows.

Colorado doesn't need to worry about losing money due to these actions. As has already been discussed, Bloomberg will step into the gap. After all, there's an infinite amount of money to go 'round:

“We are spending money we don’t have,” Mr. Bloomberg explained. “It’s not like your household. In your household, people are saying, ‘Oh, you can’t spend money you don’t have.’ That is true for your household because nobody is going to lend you an infinite amount of money. When it comes to the United States federal government, people do seem willing to lend us an infinite amount of money. … Our debt is so big and so many people own it that it’s preposterous to think that they would stop selling us more. It’s the old story: If you owe the bank $50,000, you got a problem. If you owe the bank $50 million, they got a problem. And that’s a problem for the lenders. They can’t stop lending us more money.”
