foster public debate on establishing a Gladiator System.

With the fiscal health of the nation in question, Americans must look to new ways to bolster the health of our economy. One way this could be addressed is through the implementation of a Gladiator system. Major offense inmates could be offered the option to participate in gladiator combat, with the State televising for ad revenue and selling spectator tickets. Many jobs would be created in the process. Organized sports have shown that these forms of business can be profitable. If the events were periodic, they could rival the Super Bowl in profitability. Inmates who prove their mettle could be offered freedom, on the condition that ANY offense results in being placed in an unwinnable fight. Jobs created, the cost of housing inmates reduced, and entertainment for all. No downside.
