A Chinese solar farm that fries birds is
OK, as is redrawing tortoise habitat boundaries to benefit political donors.
But an American rancher grazing his cattle brings feds with sniper rifles. It appears Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy has,
at least temporarily, won his "range war" with the paramilitary wing
of the Bureau of Land Management. Fearing another Waco, BLM has announced it
will no longer enforce a court order and stop stealing Bundy's cows, called
"trespass cattle" by the feds, accused of grazing free on part of the
84% of Nevada that is federal property.
If the forces deployed in and around the Nevadan's ranch
had been deployed to Benghazi, it's likely Glen Doherty, Ty Woods, Sean Smith
and Ambassador Christopher Stevens would be alive today. If illegal aliens were
grazing on the disputed property, there would not have been federal snipers
perched nearby with American citizens in their sights. The government that has detonated hundreds of nuclear
weapons in the Nevada desert claimed a rancher's meandering cattle threatened a
protected species......To Read More.....
My Take - The question
that needs to be asked and answered is why 87% of a state is owned by the
federal government? Currently the federal government owns at almost 30% of
U.S. property, mostly in the west. Why? Currently the national debt
is almost 18 trillion dollars and the total assets of the federal government
comes to 150 trillion dollars, and even if we take the value of places like
national parks out of the equation, the vast majority of that 150 trillion is
liquid. Why is there a national debt in that case? It's long overdue for the
federal government to get out of the real estate business and turn
the "public's property" into cash and pay off the national debt - with
interest payments in the hundreds of billions of dollars a year - and refund
Social Security by paying back the trillions they "borrowed" from the
fund.
