Selling Our Public Lands

[Dgd6mm]

I sure would like to see more push back on registration of suppressors by the Republicans.

It’s not hard to imagine what our landscape is going to look like in the future. Every country in the world is all private and that private land plague has been spreading east to west here in the states for along time. I don’t think you’re going to stop it. So next time your favorite hunting spot becomes a national monument don’t get to mad because some day you’ll be glad that you can atleast still walk and hunt on that land as opposed to a subdivision built for affordable living. I don’t understand how selling land to fix a deficit is going to fix our problems. I’m sure there are billions of dollars in our budget that could be cut without anybody but a few dirty lazy hippies noticing.

The best analogy that I have heard for fixing our deficit is as follows:
If your toilet stool is broke and overflowing the house with water and sewage, you don't raise the roof higher. You fix the toilet! For whatever good the BBB does, raising the debt ceiling isn't the answer to solving our budget issues and nearly 37 trillion $$ National debt. Selling of our precious public land resources without cutting spending won't solve anything.

Heck, just read that China has a ton of US farmland, some of it very close to US military installations. I don't mind doing a forced sale of the land next to military installations, but I think it is real tricky doing forced sale of land legally purchased in the past. And as the OldTimers used to say,,,,Don't sell the seed corn!

Read the paper this morning. Yes, I still get one! The sale of public lands portion of the bill has been killed. All four of our elected officials here in Idaho voted to delete it. We are safe for the time being...

If you havent watched the Tucker Carlson show episode called

Braxton McCoy: Iraq, Opioids, and Defending US Land From Foreign Governments & Corporate Giants​

It’s worth your time. Braxton has some observations not in the mainstrem news and he fought to stop the sales. I have their website to save public land on another computer - I’ll try to add that later.
