So 30 wealthy guys got together, formed a corporation and bought 900,000 acres. Then they sold off shares and/or parcels by lottery...profiting in a very short time.
The next plan didn't work so well either. Look at the Phelps & Gorham Purchase in NYS...and then the Holland Purchase.
We here in NY showed the Land Barons how it's done.
Why give the land to the individuals states? It was never theirs in the first place. It was paid for by Federal dollars and/or Federal troops. Now if the Feds want to sell it at a fair market price to the states to help pay down the Federal deficit then that would be ok...for at least a portion of the land. Plus these states are just as corrupt as the Feds.
I don’t understand what anyone trusts about the establishment politicians. We already know they are backstabbers. Why elect another one of them?
I don’t nor is Cruz right.
The land belongs to the people individually and should be sold off, not to states OR the Feds.
A while back I was reading some quotes from Trump and i thought to myself “well we are in trouble. Donald Trump has used up all the adjectives and there are none left for the rest of us”! LOL.
He's simply amazing, isn't he?
OF course then you have to assume the states will do the right thing, still dealing with Gov.. Have a regional state ordained regional landfill right down the road, steamrolled right in over the its neighbors.
“Yep. Plus...”
Everybody points at the other side and says, “You just don’t get it.” However, I can think of a couple of things that you don’t seem to get.
1. We have been invaded. Border crashing is the analogue of arterial bleeding. We only have a very short time to get a tourniquet on that, or the country is going to die. As with physical death, the death of our country will be final and irrevocable.
All—all, all, all—the other candidates will allow us to bleed to death. They can’t even bring themselves to promise us a tourniquet.
Trump, at least, is promising to bind our mortal wound. Maybe he’ll do it, and maybe he won’t, but even “maybe” is better than what the Two Cubans and the rest are offering.
2. Cruz is a weak man. It’s as plain as the nose on his face. If you can’t see it, worry about your ability to read people.
Sheesh...just wrote a p.o.’d post in FAVOR of Trump and then click back to see this.
He really doesn’t understand anything this side of the freakin’ Hudson.
Yeah, keep the lands “great”. That’s what the Feds do, keep things “great”.
Don’t want to trust the states...or God forbid the VOTERS??
What an idiot.
Gee, another good reason to vote for Trump /s
Can’t wait for his sheep to explain this away.
Maroon. Never trust the locals, they are dumber than the nationals you know, because a, um, they are in different places very far apart!!!!
Seik heil, mine Furher! (not from great city so cant spell)
Excess Federal lands should be sold to pay down the National Debt.

Trump will likely take a look at it and decide policy on a case-by-case basis.

Yeah, this is just what I need to DUMP Trump across the board! He does not share rural western American values at all. He will run roughshod over private property apparently and make deals with the foreign elites instead.
How much more, must this guy reveal, before people realize he is a) NOT a conservative; b) not about fixing the real problems we face; and c) part of the problems we face?????
The whole interview
Awww...you poor thing. Did someone pee in your cornflakes this morning?
