A map showing the federally owned property that MAY go up for sale

For your information, what the eventual outcome will be is anyone’s guess.

Any ground on this map you are familiar with ?

Congress is making more than 250 million acres of public lands available for sale.

The Senate reconciliation package is a disturbing giveaway that will mandate the “disposal” of public lands across the western United States.

The map is showing 250 million acres, the sale is estimated to be between 2-3 million, so about 1% of what is on this map.

Seems kinda like a “sky is falling” article.

None of the states listed affect me but I do not agree with this at all. It creates a slippery slope. That land should remain open to public recreation, not sold off to private developers.

If you have a senator in any of these states, I would advise you get on the horn and make your opinion known.

All senators vote, contact yours even if you aren’t from one of these states. It’s everyone’s land.

Looks like the whole state of Nevada is for sale

Remember, these are the places that qualify to be sold, not will be sold. Only about 1% of the land that qualifies would be sold.

But still, every acre counts, and once things get going will they go back to the trough ?

There is no amount of money that, once given to Congress, will be immediately spent. It's 100% certainty that it would not be used to pay down the debt.

Without a Balanced Budget amendment to the Constitution, Congress will spend every cent they can grab from us and then go on to spend even more, increasing both the deficit and the national debt.

Just say "no".
