It is a slippery slope.

I fear once they start down that slope, it will not lead to a good place (for the American public). [Literaaly.]

How ironic, that the U.S. Forest Service management people I talk to say "we were better funded and served" under the Democrats (these are both "old timers and newbies"); they see the Republicans gutting all the funding with a pen trying to stop the economichemmorage elsewhere with no sense of what is going on "on the ground." In these situations, without money there is nothing.

I'm a Republican....
And I'mdistraught onmore political counts than just this "Sell Our Public Lands Issue."
The gun issue will keep me from ever going Democrat; however, I wish the "pendulum" would return more to center.

They should not sell public land. Trade land parcesls ---okay; sell the land and then ship the $$$ to never-never-land, no.
