Too Late to Pawn America
Remember the song, "This Land is Your Land, this Land is My Land" . . .? Apparently members of Congress don't. Considering the fact that this land was stolen from the inhabitants that revered the privilege allowed by their Creator, I don't understand how anyone of any party could consider selling it in all good conscience, but then . . . perhaps it's the good conscience that has already been sold.

If we showcase and sell ourselves well enough, our President seems to think tourism will be the job creation that will save our Middle Class???
I'm not a Florida Republican, but in all fairness to the current politicians of both ilks, this idea of selling the land or giving it for development may not be so "far fetched" and foreign as those who are offended would feign. After all, that is exactly how this country was founded.
It does seem that ideas get "thrown out," then "thrown around," then some are legislated without further mention, while others are tabled for a time, but once any idea has been thought about, much less spoken before a group, it is an idea that has take root somewhere.

Selling off or developing national land may simply be the continuation of 'sowing and reaping."
