Its amazing to think the US federal government owns 640 million acres of land. Or roughly 28% of the US.

They tried to give it away, no one would take it.

One of the things that make our country great is access to all that public land for recreation. Try going camping, fishing, or hunting in Europe and it will really make you appreciate what we have here.

It also helps we have a much better selection of places to do those things, and we don't need to take a 100 question test on getting a license to fricking fish ( lived in Italy for three years )

Europe has some amazing places to fish and hike however much of it is private or even if there is public access it’s controlled via a super confusing local licensing system
For example - there is no public waters in Germany to fish. You want to fish that lake or stream? Better find out who owns the rights to fish there and inquire for a permit and you better know the exact regulations and land boundaries that permit grants you.

Land monuments and parks are the best thing the US government has ever done.

Give the fed land in western states to blacks for reparations

The only thing missing from your graph is the 'Trend'. Year by year the govt takes more land. Eventually they will own it all.

Give some to me, I'll take that shite. I'll build a house in the desert and a big beautiful wall around my property.

No. Maybe give it back to the Native Americans for reparations of trying to commit genocide sanctioned by the US government.

I don't care who gets it, I just want it back in private hands.

That land out West was NEVER in private hands.
