GTFOH. We're a Republic of States. The government needs to stay out of the states. That's our biggest problem right now. Many people don't understand what the Supreme Court said in regard to abortion. They sent it back to states. We need more things to get reverted back to the states. Nobody's talking about giving things up to native people that were here before or Mexico or France or Spain. Those people were conquered or beat long ago.
Federal lands (not sure how accurate)
- The federal government manages about 640 million acres (2.6 million km2) of land in the United States, which is about 28% of the total land area of 2.27 billion acres (9.2 million km2).
Maybe they should sell some to reduce the federal deficit?
It's the whole reason Texas doesn't still look like this...
