What’s the federal government doing with all this land anyway? It’s fallow. The only legitimate land needs of the federal government are those required for military bases, which ain’t a whole lot. I don’t have the numbers but it has been stated many times that the federal government could pay off or pay down the debt by auctioning or selling federal property. President Reagan’s Interior Secretary, James Watt, suggested it and was it was dismissed out of hand. But that’s when the deficit was but a small fraction of today’s. I am sure there would be thousands of people interested in buying it up and putting it to good use. If properly managed, there’s no reason such a program could not be used to relieve at least a portion of the public debt being placed on the young and unborn.
