Honestly, I don't get it. Of all the topics and issues that this administration—or really any administration, both left and right—could pick to focus its efforts on, the last one I'd personally choose would be anything to do with public lands. It's the one issue that, despite our supposed differences in this country, unites everyone in their belief that public lands are ours, not the government's, and that disposing of them is a bad idea.
Yet, campaign promises to big-dollar donors have to be met. Supposedly. Backroom deals have to be honored. Allegedly. And it's required that we wholesale sell off of our public lands has to be done to balance the budget and provide affordable housing, while returning to "common sense management practices" to those tasked with managing these tracts.
What complete horseshit.
