Republicans Propose Selling Federal Lands To Reduce The Deficit

[Galraedia]

Congressional Republicans and presidential candidates have suggested a variety of options for dealing with our country’s budget woes, such as slashing Medicare, reducing federal spending to 1966 levels, and drilling everywhere. Today, the House Natural Resources Committee used much of a hearing on designating wilderness areas to discuss another radical proposal: selling off 3.3 million acres of lands that belong to all Americans without clarifying how taxpayers would receive a fair return for them.
