If you enjoyed paying $1.59 a gallon for gas this past weekend, understand a few things. To the extent domestic production affects this, the oil industry is mostly gettings its resources on private lands. That's because Obama, while he's happy to take credit for the increased productivity and lower prices, is fighting new leases on federal lands wherever he can. That's how he can reassure his left-wing base he's an enemy of the oil industry while also taking credit for the low prices.
But there is some oil being extracted on federal lands, and if that stopped all at once, it would definitely have a significant and negative impact on prices. And according to Hillary Clinton, that's exactly what she would do if she became president:

All public land, other than military and test bases should be either turned over to the states or opened up to homesteading to legal residents who have lived in the USA no less than ten years.
Get the central socialist government out of the land business!
Return all lands to the states in which they’re located.
$1.39 for Regular at a station yesterday - I paid $1.90 for Premium - woo hoo!
The Opecker Princes probably dropped off another Million $s in the Clintoon Slush funds for that statement. They will drop off more if she gets elected.
It’s all about control of every facit of Americans lives. Also, any time we start to get a little bit financially ahead, liberals throw obsticles against us financially. They think they can spend our money better than we can. They just want to keep their ham fist against us.
Where in the Constitution does it say the federal government can own a third of the property in western states? This should never have been allowed. Since the National Parks are accessible to the people, they can remain, but all other “federal lands” should be sold to the highest bidder. That would pay off a fraction of our massive, suffocating national debt wracked up by that federal government.
I agree.
Doesn’t look like Reno is gonna catch up in that way. Regular is still around $2.19/gal. Still a lot better than the $3.89/gal not that long ago. (And, what if the petroleum on federal lands is abiotic?) :>)
Agreed.
There is no excuse for We the People allowing the Federals to own so much of this country.
How do we change this? I do not know.
Electing the same old, same old ain’t gonna do it.
Armed squatting as they are doing in Oregon will just get you killed by their over whelming force.
Seceding will get millions killed as we saw in 1861-1865. Then it was hundreds of thousands, today would be 5-10 times as many.
As I stated, I do not know the answer, but we need to come up with one pronto.
LOL!
I guess they would decree it as a rare form of abiotic biota and in need of utmost protection...
Agreed, but my only other thought is to bundle up the land and auction it off in parcels, like is done with the radio frequencies. That was it can help our debt a small amount and ensure people like the green organization have their chance put their money where their mouths are. If they want to keep land from productive uses the can buy it and then pay the states their ongoing property taxes. Not sure about free to homesteaders, seems like the tax payer should receive some benefit from the asset. Maybe some rent over time. I could imagine a bunch of illegal residents attempting to become homesteaders.
Won’t this hurt the “poor?”
Oh wait, they will get a $15.00 hr minimum wage so they should be able to pay for it.
“However, despite opposing oil drilling in ANWR, one of these environmental groups allowed oil drilling on lands that it owns, reaping sizeable revenues from its production. The National Audubon Society, who opposes oil drilling in ANWR, has allowed oil and gas drilling on its 26,000 acre Paul J. Rainy Sanctuary in Louisiana for nearly 50 years. Beginning in the 1940s, oil companies drilled 37 wells in the sanctuary, which protects important habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife.[ii]
The National Audubon Society received royalties of over $25 million, which it used to buy additional land. The drilling in the Paul J. Rainy Sanctuary was performed in an environmentally safe manner, but that could also be accomplished in ANWR, if only the federal government would allow drilling there.

I even have a problem with ‘National Parks’. Follow the Constitution and return it all to the State to whom it resides. Sorry, it means what it says, or it’s just ink on parchment; can’t have it both ways.
Then, the State will decide. THEY can request contributions to keep XYZ open, sell it off, etc.
How do you change it?
Pressure your State to file to return all lands (illegally) held.
Course, very few States want to ‘rock the boat’, that might cut off the gravy train of $$ when the Fed gives ‘em the evil eye.
The states need to take their land back. For example, 90% of Nevada is under federal control. That’s why ranchers are being gunned down.
I agree wholeheartedly with your post #16. I don’t hear any of the candidates in this election cycle talking about this, except for the tangent discussions about eminent domain. Time for the free market conservatives to talk this up, so we can distinguish them from the uniparty spies.
Right. That way she can sell the rights to it to a foreign government in exchange for generous donations to The Clinton Foundation.
