Sickening. He's got as much respect for national public land as his daddy did.

[quote="Denver Post"]President Bush wants to sell more public land across the West to raise money for schools, conservation and deficit reduction./quote]

1. If he hadn't spent extra billions upon billions of dollars on some bullshit war, he might be able to give schools a few bucks.
2. How is SELLING public land going to CONSERVE it?
3. Deficit reduction....I don't think this country has enough public land to pay that off now. lol

Not to compensate. In the exact same budget document, he is cutting education by 28% as well as volunteering public land sell-offs to "raise money for schools."
It's a complete lie, as are most of his explanations for why he is selling out everything American to the highest bidder.

lol at this quote "The federal government should sell land that it has no business owning in order to fund more important functions and to return the land to the local tax base."
give developers a lease. 20, 30 or 50 year lease gives devs the time they need and prevents them from cashing in on future land sale and fucking the general public in it's traditional use.
