“Feds own about 30% of all US land....they will probably start selling that out from under us...”

That may not be such a bad thing: liberating federally-owned land and restoring it to the private sector opens up the possibility of its being put to productive use in ways that are precluded so long as Uncle Sam’s name is on the deed. Deciding whether to drill in Alaska or open up vast natural gas reserves should be ECONOMIC decisions, not political decisions. But they won’t be so long as Uncle Sam is the title-holder etc.
