Why not make them State-owned public lands instead of the commies in Washington taking the land from the States?


The federal government had that land before statehood existed out there.

States have also proven that they will sell the land when it isn't revenue positive then the public loses

Then, why make them states? It makes no sense.

Shouldn't it be the State's decision?

Feds owned almost 100% of Louisiana after the Louisiana Purchase. Now, 4.6%. Just think, America actually made money from selling land acquired in the purchase.
