how about getting rid of all federal land except military bases? Could pay down some of the debt!
Would you like to turn Yellowstone over to the The folks who run Magic Mountain?
They could put up rides and sell trinkets.

My only problem with that is the tendency for corrupt politicians to always connive and sell (or lease) our public assets to their cronies on the cheap. It is how they always work, and how we get screwed.
Wall Street has been doing that since 2008 by using our bailout money to buy up public assets like parking lots and water companies, and highways using our bailout money. They get it on the cheap and then our rates go up.
