If the liberals and the feds close all the public lands to grazing, then your food prices would go way up and your food would increasingly come from feed lots full of drugs and growth hormones.

No more ‘free range’ grass eating cattle ?

Do not believe the line that the feds give away public lands to ranchers or miners. The ranchers and miners pay cash money plus have to maintain the land to the feds standards.

Closing public lands will increase our energy costs when coal mines are closed...

“Closing public lands will increase our energy costs when coal mines are closed...”

I wonder if any foreign energy companies spread any money around on Capitol Hill?

Of course this also sounds suspiciously like part of the UN plan to turn the U.S. into a giant nature preserve.

Call me crazy.

The first line of my post was “we need mines”. that should have made it clear that i wasn’t opposed to closing anything. My only point was that getting the use of govt lands should pay the same as those renting similar grazing lands from the public or paying royalties on minerals.
