Are Federal Lands America’s Balance Sheet?
Description:
Margaret Byfield returns to Financial Rebellion!
Today our show focuses on the ownership and management of federal lands, particularly in the western U.S., where the federal government owns large portions, such as 83% in Nevada and 97% in Custer County, Idaho. Proposals for selling federal lands, such as Senator Mike Lee's, aim to strengthen local economies but also raise concerns. Today’s show underscores the importance of keeping land in the hands of American citizens and ensuring agencies like the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manage lands for multiple uses, including grazing, minerals, timber, and recreation.
