Senate passes sweeping conservation bill

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

All for it

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

But why?

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.

What does our spending addiction have to do with this?

It actually is a renewal of legislation that allows hunter access to a lot of land out west.

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

Parks create profit for the govt. Not sure if the view on this is govt taking more land to make themselves more revenue or what.

A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that 4.1 million visits to Yellowstone National Park in 2015 totaled $493.6 million in spending in communities near the park. That spending supported 7,737 jobs in the local area and had a cumulative benefit to the local economy of $638.6 million.
I love national parks though.

From the article
quote:
Bow hunters would be allowed to bring their weapons through national parks when trying to reach areas where it is legal to hunt. More important, it makes all federal lands open to hunting, fishing, and recreational shooting unless otherwise specified.
Here in the eastern part of the country we don't often see the impacts of protecting our public lands. We all can go out on our own, buy the permit/licenses, and hunt big game. Though our eastern localities may suck, the western public areas can be bountiful in game depending on where one is. There is no system of conservation in the world like it. Taxes we pay on guns, ammo, fishing equip., licenses, all go towards managing these lands and protecting our wildlife. This isn't going into the effects of a successful hunt - i.e. meat for the family.
Right now, we are blessed as a nation with minerals and energy. I don't see the need to go into yellowstone at this moment to protect this nation. An opinion of mine that has changed dramatically since college.

Why?
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?

Exactly.
Why are things that directly affect the people never "advertised" so public reaction cannot be given? They just work on it, to the neglect of other actually important issues, and then *poof* taxpayers are stuck with paying for it.

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