Quoted:
The last month or so, I've been doing some serious thinking. If my household was deep in debt and despite doing all I could to make payment, it was becoming obvious that was impossible... I would feel that I have one of two choices:
1. Default (not an option for me personally)
2. Sell some asset (a cabin, car, gun, some tools, whatever).
So, why shouldn't the Federal government consider the same thing? We have some fantastic prime real estate. There would be the obvious logistical challenges of moving/compensating citizens currently living in those areas, but surely the sale of these assets would go far to bring down the National Debt.
Heck, the "sale" could even include a long-term lease (or specific exemption) for Pearl Harbor for strategic & historical value.
Thoughts?
Are you kidding?? I guess you don't believe in private property... many in the current administration don't either.
Nice, move people off of their property because thief's and a inept missing in action government let our country go down the tubes.... fix it by taking the property away from hard working people....why not just freakin shoot us??
Good Gawd, no wonder we're in the mess we're in..... stop the earth, I need to get off.
Here's a stupid freakin idea... why don't we make those that got us in the situation we are in get us out.
How about:
Cutting the pay of congress in half and freeze wages.
Stop paying for private airports and stop buying 20 million dollar jets for our " kings and queens" to fly on.
How about taking away all the perks our "representatives" get.
Trim social programs that don't work and cost us big time.
etc.
BEFORE we consider stealing PRIVATE land.
It's not the federal governments land, it's OUR land....we purchased it through hard work, taxes, and the blood of countless soldiers..... it isn't "theirs" to sell.
