Repuke Congressman: “we don’t need any more national parks in this country” [View all]

Rep. Cliff Stearns Wants To Sell Off Our National Parks

And I told the man that we don’t need more national parks in this country, we need to actually sell off some of our national parks, and try and do what a normal family would do is — they wouldn’t ask Uncle Joe for a loan, they would sell their Cadillac, or they would take their kids out of private schools and put them into public schools to save to money instead of asking for their credit card to increase their debt ceiling.
