Look at how many people are too lazy to even pick up their own trash, parks departments in cities have their own garbage collection departments. These costs today are covered by all taxpayers, when that cost is dropped to the state level, half the country won't be pitching in the tax dollars they do today.
I am really to old to enjoy the public lands that much. But if they are transferred to the states, in less than 10 years a lot of you people won't have to be concerned if you can enjoy them. Because quite few of those public lands will have become private lands. Those few places that aren't sold to private investors, will be the chit holes that nobody wants to visit. Our national treasures will become private sanctuaries for the new owners.
As in the Bundy case, some if you act like he has title to the land he has trespassed on for the last 20 years. If that happens, do you think he will let you hunt for free, or spend a week camping on "his" land?
Do you honestly think that anyone will be able to hunt that land when it's a mitigation area for a Solar Energy Farm, and Rory and Harry Reid have lined their pockets at the tax payers' expense???
Did I say to sell it to anyone or any company? Nope!
They don't have to sell the land, all they have to do is sell the mitigation rights. Federal government keeps the land, public land is set aside for ever and ever, and the people cannot use it. The only one's that benefit from it are Harry and Rory, and of course the Chinese. The people are simply screwed in this deal.
