No, @SenMikeLee DOESN’T want to sell our national parks and hunting lands to build “affordable housing.” Here’s what’s really happening. The US Government owns 640 million acres of land, mostly in the West. That’s almost a THIRD of our total land. It’s about the size of France, Germany, Poland, and the UK combined. Mike Lee wants to offload 3 million acres (less that HALF of a percent) of that land for Americans to live on. He’s not talking about selling Yellowstone or Yosemite. This is land that’s often remote, hard to access, or mismanaged. Why is it mismanaged? Because the federal government is the WORST NEIGHBOR. I know firsthand. My land is surrounded by a national forest, controlled by the Bureau of Land Management. The BLM doesn’t upkeep it. My neighbors and I do, so that it doesn’t ruin OUR ranch land. Also, “affordable housing” just means land that doesn’t cost a FORTUNE. In the West, YOU CAN’T BUY LAND anymore because it’s so expensive. Why? Because the government owns it all! Never mind the national housing crisis. Want to buy a house without going into major debt? Good luck! That crisis will only get WORSE. Biden pushed for “30 by 30,” a GLOBAL plan to have 30% of the planet owned by federal governments by 2030. They don’t want to preserve it for hunting and fishing. They’re radical environmentalists who want to keep you OFF that land. The real goal is “50 by 50”. HALF the country locked up under federal or elite-approved “protection” by 2050. You think that won’t affect your ability to hunt, fish, graze cattle, harvest timber, or just live free? And here's something no one’s talking about: the Treasury wants to put federal land on the national balance sheet. What happens if America ever defaults on its debt? CHINA will control that land. So, here’s the alternative: let the people who live near the land steward it. Let ranchers, farmers, sportsmen, and private conservationists do what they’ve done for generations. That’s the American way.
