Bill Maher laments rise of gambling culture among young Americans during 'Real Time'

"Real Time" host Bill Maher lamented the rise of gambling on Friday during his HBO show and told viewers that people still have control of their own destiny in America.

"So I gotta ask, is this what we’re doing now instead of having an actual economy? I get it. Too many people feel that even clawing their way to the middle class is impossible. Forget fantasy football. Owning a home — that’s the real fantasy," he said.

Maher said gambling was mostly done by younger men during the monologue.
