"The acreage identified is drawn from a 1997 survey conducted by the Clinton administration, which sought to identify potential offsets to revive the Florida Everglades after decades of pollution from the sugar cane industry.
The actual language of the 1997 survey, which did not result in land being sold, prefaced its findings with a caution: ?Please note many lands identified appear to have conflicts which may preclude them from being considered for disposal or exchange.?

I believe our government has been selling off land for some time now, very quietly. It doesn't matter who is in office. The reality of this is the US government owns A LOT of land, more so out west. Something like 87% of Nevada is owned is owned by the US government. It costs us a ton of money to maintain and patrol that land....
