"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Stop Legislative Land Swaps
"The federal government is the single biggest property owner in the country, particularly in the Western United States. And in many cases, the government owns land that is attractive to private interests for development or other economic purposes. Conversely, private local entities own land that is attractive to the feds, for instance private property within a park boundary. Current law allows the government and other parties to exchange these properties when they are considered to be of equal value." The real problem should be apparent.
