The word “parks” does not appear in the Constitution a single time. Really. Go check for yourself.

The National Park Service should be privatizing and selling off all but core park land.

It can’t maintain the land it already oversees much less than the new land added to its vast domain by Congressional fiat.

The NPS is opening NEW parks every year with no money to support them other than taking funds from existing parks.
The NPS is a partner along with the USFS and BLM to withdraw more and more land from public usage.

What frustrates the heck out of me is that many national parks didn’t initially require a lot of “maintenance.”

It is when they built huge and elaborate buildings and museums and other structures, tour buses, and then hire hundreds of people to maintain everything, that it becomes expensive.

Any new land should be restricted to east of the Appalachians or west of the Sierras. I am tired of being someone else’s vacation spot. Let them find endangered species in downtown Boston.

How much did the System spend on shutting down the great outdoors during the last shudtown? No sympathy there.

Clinton did the same thing at the end of his term. It has been the goal of the Left’s elites to reduce the number of common people using the national parks. Especially concerning to our environmental betters are day users and families with children. These are people who don’t spend much money in the park - they pack a lunch and either camp or stay off site.

How to eliminate the common folk who are ruining the elite’s experience? Raise entrance fees, eliminate camping sites, reduce parking spots or move them off site, force people onto crowded buses to free up the roads for those staying in expensive in-park lodging.

Nature and wildlife are only for the King and the King’s men.

They want to control the land and they want to price people out. Fewer visitors. Agenda 21. Restrict people to the cities for easy control and surveillance.

Would you pay more to visit your favorite national park?

NO

I propose a TAX on Entertainment to fund these new parks

$5 per Movie Ticket
$20 per Concert Ticket
Watch Hollywood lose their minds

> The defense authorization bill... creates seven new national parks and expands nine existing parks

Pork and bargaining chips. This sort of thing has to stop.

I propose a Constitutional amendment that limits federal ownership of land within a state to no more than 10% of the total land mass of that state.

Department of Interior needs more lawyers. That’s exactly where the money will go.

Grabbing more state land and charging you to walk on it. Priceless.

Perhaps, if they did not have so much land to operate and maintain...

Any additional $$$ raised with increased fees wouldn’t ever get to the parks. They’d go into the General Fund and get pizzed away on the gimme dats. It’s a scam. Veto!

Run the fee up to about half the price of a hotel stay. Then, only the regime-supported worthy will be present in the parks. No more scary peasants.

Turn the national parks into Disneyland where only rich foreigners can afford to visit (except on gay days).
