Congress is preparing to give away millions of acres of public land worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The first move, transferring property owned by all Americans to individual states, was quietly adopted by the House in early January as part of a routine internal rules change.

The end game? Vast expanses of land passed for free to ranching or mining companies—or even corporate logos splattered across national landmarks such as Yosemite park or Devil’s Tower.

The House move is not yet a done deal. The Senate has to act, as will the White House.

Congress moved quietly in January to give away public land to benefit private industry.

The move is the first step in what may become the wholesale transfer of hundreds of billions of dollars worth of public property to private hands with little or no payment.

Lights out. A voluntary federal program called Energy Star has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 2.7 billion tons and cut $430 billion in utility bills. So naturally Donald Trump wants to kill the EPA program, according to E&E News, along with gutting much of the rest of the agency. Energy Star includes a certification program for appliances and ratings for homes and buildings.

OH DAMN look at that Trump wasnt even in office yet. Must have been on the tail of the last Democrat stand....Right Snake!!

Nam...I agree with your facts (as far as they go.) I'm sure you will agree that since this was tacked onto a House Rules Bill it must have originated in the House which incidentally is GOP controlled. It was also passed by the GOP controlled House and then sent to the Senate were it faces an uncertain future. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail and it will die in the Senate.

For more on the selling of America I suggest you read David Cay Johnson's book "Free Lunch." I do not feel that this is a partisan issue. The selling of America's assets to private entities borders on criminal in my opinion.

First thing I would question is the quoted tons of greenhouse gasses that were not produced.

I seriously doubt that they can even come close to an accurate number.

So, to me, it is a made up stat, like most of the rest of the global warming numbers.

This was all set up under the Obama administration years ago. According to Obama it was getting to expensive to maintain the parks and wanted to sell em to private organizations that would charge a price to get in so they could maintain them.

Obama must have needed that money to give to his Muslim brothers

^^^^^ Well, that covers the day's entire quota for made up stupid shit.

As someone said, "No link, then it's pure bullshit and you're a liar." :o

Grog has so much gut that children sometimes, on hot days, will lounge under his belly for the shade.

Nam...How did I know before I read your reply that it as going to wind up Obama's fault again. That man was really busy.
