You’ve said the most important thing so far on this thread, for our government should not own land.
Other than for military purposes, direct government ownership of large tracts of land should be illegal.
There is a solution to this: it is called Congress. Selling off real assets could eliminate the national debt and lifting many of the onerous regulations on landowners would go a long way to rectifying this situation.
Note the phrase, “Western Watersheds Project”. This is the one thing that gave me pause as it raised the specter of government control of water. The United Nations is Hell bent on asserting its control over the earth’s water through international treaties, and Obama, along with the Progressives, are aiding and abetting this activity.
Dammit! We should have sovereignty over our own resources, and no one else!
