Proposed sale of millions of acres of public land under GOP budget bill

[FoxtArt]

This was nuked by the senate rulemaker by the way, so not happening.

In the future, something to remember is even if it's 1% of 0.5% of federal lands, that's not random. There would be zero acres sold in the butthole of Nevada.

What would be sold is the prime and proftable tracks in national forest, adjacent to national parks, adjacent to good development areas (Grand Junction, Montrose, Salt Lake, etc.), likely prime free camping locations, etc...

It isn't going to be 40 acres of cheap land you or I could buy, it would be the Federal land that people with lobbying $ REALLY BADLY WANT. Things like, for instance, land adjacent to the Tetons. Or prime riverfront, waterfalls, campsites, caves, who knows. Things that real $ buys, not paltry peasant salaries.

Happy for that. My feelings echo yours. Too much corruption. I wrote to our esteemed (sic) senators before I posted this and only Bennet replied,
