Public lands sale - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was trying to keep this apolitical and really about fishing and hunting access because I know we can all agree on this, but yes, this is all in an effort to justify a tax cut that will lock in permanent tax cuts for the rich while the lower income bracket ones expire quickly and for the really poor their burdens go up because they'll likely lose medicaid and have to pay more for healthcare which they can't afford. Ideally, they would give an increased child tax credit, lower taxes on low income families and eliminate the tax cut for the rich. Even the guy who invented trickle down economics now admits it does not work. The non partisan congressional budget office says that unless we experience a massive boom in the economy which seems very unlikely at this point, the national debt even with selling $100 billion in land (which will go at less than $430 an acre BTW), taking millions off medicaid, cutting medicare and snap will still balloon the deficit $3-5 trillion.
For those who doubt what I'm saying and want to say oh another liberal spewing numbers, here's a wall street journal article written by one of the most right wing senators there is https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-ugly...iuCPHupA%3D%3D

Some of you voted against this some voted for it, it's all of our jobs to stop the government from doing bad things that don't benefit the American people. This is the first amendment in action. By the way, you want to get really mad? They're eliminating the roadless wilderness rule so when they sell of the land to millionaires and billionaires, they can build roads on the public dime into their private enclaves before they sell them and lock them off.
