“A lot of this land will be worth a few hundred an acre, I suspect.”
Well, I am assuming that a sale would have to cherry pick the most useful and attractive land, that is atypical of just wilderness.
There is a map on the internet somewhere that gives a graphic representation of how much land the fedgov owns in each state. I would like to see them dump a LOT of it. I would not be surprised if Trump sees this as an opportunity to give the land back to the states by selling a lot of the “worthless” land to them. It’s one of those things that the feds should do but has never been a high priority. You know, like moving our embassy to Jerusalem. :)
