Truth is no one will buy most of this land -- it's crap.
10,000 acres in the Nevada dessert, semi arid tumbleweed lands in Wyoming -- used for ? Oil leases maybe.
The land that is valuable the BLM actively manages. That land should not be sold it's a government asset. Both business and the government profits from it, indirectly: the people are the government -- the government will just tax us for what they no longer get from those lands -- WE NEED MORE!
This is more of a publicity stunt. Obama vetoes the bill, Congress can't override and there is a new election issue ... (<case closed>)
