Good!
No National Parks will ever be sold.
Feds own way to much of the West.
It cost money to operate these lands and that increasing the debt.
More land put into private lands equals better economy
More land in production results in increased state and federal taxes
Proceeds of the SALE will reduce the nation debt

In 2015, the U.S. spent $223 billion, or 6 percent of the federal budget, paying for interest on the debt. In recent years, interest rates have been at historic lows. As they return closer to normal levels, the amount the government spends on interest will rise substantially.

$223,000,000,000.00 wasted every year. That's the equivalent to over 17 free aircraft carriers a year! We only have 10!!!!! That's over 20,000 miles of free interstate highways a year. We have less than 47,000 miles today after 60 years of construction! How much infrastructure problems can be addressed?

That aircraft carrier won't be around in 50 years. Public land will still be there for my grandchildren to enjoy just as I have. frick short sided thinking like this. Our public lands are more valuable than the numbers represented on the budget

How much of that $223B went to maintain the land for sale?

Nice faux argument, by the way. Let's argue actual facts, not muddy the water.
