For a "Right" Whale you sure do like the post New Deal shape of FedGov power.

How about autioning fedgov land and seeing who buys it? The U.S. has a very large and liquid market in real estate.

Guarantee this: most of the land won't be sold anywhere near its valuation. There won't be enough money raised to pay for the auction. The FedGov will also retain the right to tax the property, and will retain subsurface rights. They also won't auction national parks, wildernesses, or forests. Doesn't leave much that anybody would be interested in. Maybe later, when there are 6 billion people living in America it will be worth something, but not now. It's just $6 trillion collateral.
