The bipartisan measure would create more than 1.3 million acres of wilderness out West, add three national park units and expand eight others.

The 662-page measure, which passed 92 to 8, represented an old-fashioned approach to dealmaking that has largely disappeared on Capitol Hill. Senators from across the ideological spectrum celebrated home-state gains and congratulated each other for bridging the partisan divide.

Because they obviously didn't have enough to screw up yet? Need to add even more to the list of things to mismanage.

Just what the federal government needs, more land to manage

Maybe they can find another rancher to murder in the new acreage they acquire

I haven't heard of this bill, but it sounds like an attack on hunters. Can't hunt in parks and restrict access to 1.3 million acres. Hope that is not the case.

More govt bureaucracy. Dept of Interior is already too big, and too powerful, with little oversight.

20+ trillion in debt, and the pat themselves on the back because they virtue signaled while creating more government expenditures that will also require the hiring of more government workers and bureaucracy?

Why?

Acquiring more land for the hidden bunkers for the pending alien attacks.

Anyone who thinks this bill is bad for America should read up on it.

Set aside trolling, shitposting, and petty politics for 5 minutes and learn something.

It also may require brushing up on what public lands are, and the definition and purpose of things like wilderness designation, national monument, national park, wild river, etc.

This bill is good for all outdoor lovers. Conservationists. Hunters. Anglers. Backpackers. Hikers.

Fake conservation. Just like screaming “reeeeeeee!” about fake global warming is fake conservation.

Real conservation would be putting a stop to things like this...

Japanese Butcher Dolphins

But never mind actually DOING something to make the world better when you can sky scream.

This tells me that the citizens likely just got fricked.

Who voted against it?
