Reply #8: I didn't see the show, but I assume [View All]

I didn't see the show, but I assume they're talking about selling off protected federal lands, like national forests and parks and such? There are regularly moves to pull that kind of stunt in WI. Makes me sick. Once you sell a forest to a logging company or a mountain to a mining company, it's ruined forever. But, that's ok to republicans, as long as their big $$$$$ friends can make a buck.

In fact, in WI, a side-note to the union-busting bill was a provision in the bill that would allow the Governor's office to sell state-owned power plants and other resources to anyone he wanted for any bid his office thought was "reasonable." Disgusting. These guys can use a couple of years in power to befoul the state (or country) for decades, or perhaps even permanently.
