Oh my goodness, I had no idea that Bundy was violating the “law” here! I suppose the Obama administration (including the Holder “Just-Us” department) will now finally begin following the law, just to show Bundy the error of his ways.
In the meantime could someone figure out how much we owe the British government for all the tea we illegally dumped in Boston harbor some years ago?We had better send them a check including interest right away!
Don’t know how to print the map - but since 1776 -the Feds sure have seized more land than the Brits could have ever dreamed of.

The United States government has direct ownership of almost 650 million acres of land (2.63 million square kilometers) – nearly 30% of its total territory. These federal lands are used as military bases or testing grounds, nature parks and reserves and indian reservations, or are leased to the private sector for commercial exploitation (e.g. forestry, mining, agriculture). They are managed by different administrations, such as the Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the US Department of Defense, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the US Bureau of Reclamation or the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Don’t know if you are seeing stories in your area, but the IRS is taking peoples refunds on this years taxes to pay for ‘what their parents owe the government’ from years past. It doesn’t seem to matter how long ago your parent died, either. When people call, they get very little concrete information.
Why such is owed isn’t very clear in any of these stories. Don’t know if it is Medicare end of life costs, or some kind of cooked up ‘overpayment’ on Social Security, but the IRS IS definately collecting such out of this year’s tax refunds.
Congress & the Feds in general are out of control.
