‘Burnt to a Crisp’ — This Is What Happens When the Federal Government Owns the Land – ’50 years of built-up fuel loads’ as ‘environmental litigants prevent any forest management’

Via the Committee to Unleash Prosperity:

One of the hallmarks of America’s economic success has been the private ownership of the land.

Think of the Oklahomans-to-be racing their stagecoaches across the wilderness to stake their claims. Whoever got there first took ownership of the property – with the ones allegedly jumping the gun called “sooners.”

Roughly half of the land west of the Mississippi in the year 2024 is still owned by the government.  Much of it is forest.

Our friend Amos Enos of Landcan.org, one of the nation’s leading land conservation groups, has analyzed how the government is horrifically managing these vast tracts of land:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
