most federal lands in the west need to be sold and then pay off the national debt with the money.
“national debt”
Bideninflation has cut the burden of the national debt by over 30% and far more than selling all federal real property would.
The problem of the debt is that the nation’s credit card is being used by the Democrats to buy votes. We got Joe as President because he offered bribes to graduates ($10,000/head), parents ($7,000/child credit), old folks (SS increase) to win victory over Trump.
The $10,000/$20,000 ‘rat graduate vote buying scheme would needless allow an $80,000/year nurse to have her $4,000 remaining debt wiped out but only reduce the crushing $250,000 debt of a woman making $32,000/year by 4% or 8%.
Leasing land is always better than selling the land as the government gets most of the economic use value of the land in money and still owns the land.
From what I’ve heard, the Supreme Court has already ruled at least twice that the federal gov’t has no authority to hold these lands. State Gov’s need to seize the lands & throw the feds out. Let them pay off the debt by taking billionaires’ money, since those people are mostly using their wealth to abuse us.
Sold to who and for what purposes.
Millions of Americans use public lands for various reasons.
Your willing to lock them out.
For a one time gain that will be used up in a year or so.
No!!! Keep those land public and accessible by the American people. I cannot imagine a worst decision than to sell those lands and allow people to fence them off
If I did my math right @6000/acre and 245 million acres that would be $1.715 trillion. If I am wrong please correct me if I am right, this doesn’t put a dent in the overspending that our government has done in the last 30 years.
No selling is not the answer but I can think of something that would work
30% OF THE US LAND MASS IS OWNED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WITH NEW MONUMENTS. AND THEY PLAN TO ANNEX EXISTING ONES.
MAKES OIL DRILLING, AND MINERAL MINING OFF LIMITS But he must get moving and designate many more national monuments to save 30 percent of the United States by 2030.

I know I missed some, some I didn’t know of. But it all boils down to linking all the natural resources and selling them to foreign countries, I have limited space, so more links are in the comments.
