So you have no real solution ...whatever. In case you haven’t noticed a dominant theme of the Obama regime is selective enforcement of laws. Looks like this rancher just lucked out and the Obama regeime-parasites in DC won’t be enforcing Federal laws against him either.....for the time being

The solution was for Mr. Bundy to pay his grazing lease rental, like every other rancher does. If he had done so, it would have eliminated the primary reason the BLM used to start seizing his cattle. But that was all Mr. Bundy's responsibility.

That's not to say that Harry Reid might not have found some other reason to send the BLM after this guy, but they would have needed to be more creative in their approach. As it happened, Mr. Bundy just made it easy for them to adopt the pretext by falling 20 years in arrears on his lease rental.

As to the question of "selective enforcement," I'm not aware that there's a huge number of ranchers grazing their cattle on federal lands without paying their allotment fees. But I doubt that Mr. Bundy is being treated that much differently than anybody else in a similar situation. Bundy has just carried it to an illogical extreme. Most other ranchers would just pay the fee or move their cattle somewhere else.
