Of course, there would need to be a massive national debate on this topic...environmentalist would whine but - in all honesty - they could bid on these lands along with industry. Open it up to a highest bidder...hire Sotheby's. Maybe Greta Thunberg's idiot parents would buy a few acres.

Yes, the federal debt is sort of an issue but it's not insurmountable. This would tackle the extinguishment of the debt AND unleash an energy wave of prosperity.

Make this a 2024 Deplorable national issue, amass blocking and tackling resources to stop the statist steal, and retake the Executive branch.

But that would be exploiting natural resources. An idea leftists hate.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you are missing two gigantic obstructions to this idea.

1) The enviros would never allow it - media, big tech, corporations, academia, and the democrat politicians and PACs would oppose it.

2) Getting out of debt requires two things - money to pay the note and the resolve to STOP SPENDING. Good luck with that.

The GOPe is not immune to this problem either. Politicians from both parties would find spending the newfound wealth to be much more attractive than using it to pay off past excesses.

We should just check with Putin. He came up with a way to get his buddies to own the yugest majority of the formerly state-owned assets over there.
Besides - turns out the FBI and the DOJ are worthless, unless you are a connected swampster.
My comments are somewhat sarchasmic, LOL

Why did Donald Trump want to buy Greenland?

The comparison is only worthwhile if the U.S. is going to sell off major portions of those assets to pay off any of the debt. And within that matter is the question of how much of it would be allowed to be, or have to be, sold to foreigners.
