“Feds own about 30% of all US land....they will probably start selling that out from under us...”
That may not be such a bad thing: liberating federally-owned land and restoring it to the private sector opens up the possibility of its being put to productive use in ways that are precluded so long as Uncle Sam’s name is on the deed. Deciding whether to drill in Alaska or open up vast natural gas reserves should be ECONOMIC decisions, not political decisions. But they won’t be so long as Uncle Sam is the title-holder etc.
“Can I pay my Visa card with my Mastercard?”
If you’re Uncle Sam, the answer is “of course.” Sadly, the answer to the next logical question: “do I have to pay my Mastercard bill?” is “of course not.” Uncle Sam can get away with behavior that would land all the rest of us in jail.
Thank you LBJ and the rest of the Kennedy brain trust. Isn't nice to remember what our “best and brightest” did to us?
Yes..We have reached a point where the truly wise see what is coming and they know, without drastic changes in leadership, we are sunk..Our children will have no future. The truth is that the children of the Progressives will have no future either for when the US finally goes down, the whole world will go with it..
Interesting....so, what happens next?
“That may not be such a bad thing: liberating federally-owned land and restoring it to the private sector opens up the possibility of its being put to productive...” etc.
Really? You think the govt. will sell it to Americans!?!?!?!
#1: Tariffs.
#2: Tariffs.
#3: Tariffs.
Buy American. Bring back American factories. Bring back American jobs.
Or we’ll cease to exist.
“No doubt about it!”
Thanks I needed a good laugh! The sad truth is that, that is all we will get out of government from the local, state and national level.
I should have said.....”selling that out from under us....TO CHINA!”
