Jeb Bush trying to sell part of Ocala National Forest for education.

Sounds like these Bush brothers work in unison. Just like his brother, Jeb Bush plans to give away our national treasure, probably to one of his lucky cronies. They act like spoiled children, those Bush boys, like they have never had to work hard in their life, but have been given a huge inheritance. You can tell they didn't earn it themselves because they haven't learned to live off the interest, and are instead going deep into the principle. Except, it's not their inheritance, it's ours.



Editorial from the Orlando Sentinel.

A Land Grab

This is a joke, right?

The Bush administration wants to support "rural education" by selling 300,000 acres of forestland, including almost 1,000 acres in the Ocala National Forest.

Doesn't this rob the communities of the very thing that defines them as rural? Are we missing something here?

Not only does this idea threaten the very communities it claims to provide for, it doesn't even make sense financially.
