I live in SC and don’t want to pay for roads in New Mexico so locals can run around on ATVs or shoot varmits. If Congress isn’t closing these roads they should be. My state and community should be maintaining my roads in my region and New Mexico should be handling New Mexico. It’s certainly not Obama’s intent, but anytime the Feds cut something out, we win.

This isn’t about maintaining roads, this is about restricting access to public land by the Forest service. Clinton pulled this crap when he was in office, now Obama is doing the same. This is done to apease the the tree hugger crowd. I realize you guys on the East Coast don’t have the huge swaths of federal land that we do out west, and you really don’t have all the info on the crazy things the govt tries to pull.

I would bet there are some federal parks in SC that could be closed.

but you are entitled to your opinion.

People in the east will never really understand that the Feds own a huge chunk of the west. For what purpose? If SC had as much federal land as NM or Nevada then you could complain about it.

During WWII the feds took (long term lease at well below market values) the land of 100+ ranchers in NM for White Sands missile range. it is over 7,000 sq. miles. That is the size of New Jersey.

I say if we want to reduce the national debt we should have a 50 year plan to sell off these extra lands. (oh and give the ranchers their land back).

Support giving or selling the land to the State of New Mexico. South Carolina or South Carolinian own 97.1% of all land in South Carolina why shouldn't New Mexico? SELL THE LAND!!! Stop hording so much of our States territory!

The fedgov should close the roads leading to Manchester State Park, Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge, Wateree and Marion Lakes. Francis Marion and
Sumter National Forests access roads should be locked.

Spending taxpayer money on the favorite social programs of the demons is what prevents the necessary resources for the upkeep of our national parks and infrastructure.
