I posted about this probably 2 years ago.. The GFY Republicans all claimed it was bullshit, but anyone that has kept track knows what's going on..
Republicans in congress have been trying for several years to sell our national parks. Basically their plan is to push the parks into state control. The states can not afford to keep the parks therefor they will be forced to sell them to the highest bidders.
They are trying to start with national forests and other "lessor" national parks, like national forests, protect wildlife land ect..ect.... ie no way they can try to sell Yellowstone right off the bat but they can start with things like Ocala national forest, Black hills national forest, ect..ect..
Rob Bishop-led rules change would make it easier to sell off federal land in Utah and elsewhere | The Salt Lake Tribune
This is now going to be happening unless people fight back.. Once again Republicans fucking Americans for the benefit of big business under the guise of "state rights"..
Trump claimed he's against it previously, but who knows with his flip/flop mentality..
