Fiscally irresponsible and unconstitutional has nothing to do with the land issue.
With the transfer of public land, it absolutely does. As far as selling public land, fiscal responsibility is a big part of public land management. So, yeah, it applies.
How is it fiscally irresponsible?
The reason to not sell or transfer public land has nothing to do with money.

Has everything to do with money...and the fact a Land Transfer would sink states like Utah, Montana and Wyoming financially.
Study the facts, jack.

The other half of the dumb & dumber duo is my Senator Lee. At least you get a response.
Where did I say otherwise?
I said the Feds keeping or transferring land had nothing to do with money.

Ben, I wish that Republican leadership and presidential candidates would read this and take it to heart. Unfortunately for their party and for the common good of political give and take in this country, they have taken to pandering to the loudest voices on the fringe in order to be noticed. Conservatives upset at certain liberal policies have leveraged that outrage to positions of influence and governance. Unfortunately, many of the ones holding office and in a position to make positive changes have held a position of opposing the opposition for so long they do not know how to lead. All they know how to do is keep people fired up and upset at how bad the "liberals" have been so they can cover their own dysfunction.
Odin, I don't know how long you've been following this site, but on the issue of public lands and access, the Republican party (especially in Montana and Utah) has been on the wrong side of the fence both in stance and actual bills sponsored. Trying to obfuscate and split hairs with BuzzH and others only diminishes the validity of your argument. I am certain that Buzz and others passionate about access and public land would be pro-Republican if the Republicans were on the right side of the issue. Unfortunately, the Republican party is not and we all suffer for it.
Ultimately, how serious are Ted Cruz and other candidates about following through selling or transferring public lands? I don't know, but I do know they are tone deaf to the wishes of many who would support much of their other policies.
I am only speaking about the US Congress because they control what actually would happen with public land.

Absurd! This question and assertion illustrates the axiom, "Logic cannot be applied where logic does not exist."
Since when has the Federal Government cared about debt?

Straight Arrow,
He meant "the feds" even though I guess we're all supposed to magically read what isn't written...

Damned likely it wouldn't be Congress that decides what happens to public lands.
Only Congress can sell or transfer land.

I realize he meant the "feds" which makes this question absurd and cynical .... aside from illogical.

Me too. The cryptic, one line questions without any substance are eerily similar.

This thread is how you make Pavlov's dog salivate.

Cruz is a caracature of a carpetbagger,and could care less about the people of TX let alone the US citizens. He is in it for his own gain.
As for my revolution comment,here's a revolutionary one. Think outside the box folks!
Vote your best interests,not what some party hacks box says.
The fact that so many of us do have the second amendment in the backs of our minds is my point.......as in number of people that have them. Weapons.
So no one is going to invade us.
They won't have to,. and Most folks will just go on not thinking for themselves.
Bundy ? Really?
Guess there is a reason I stay off most talks of politics anymore

Cruz? No way.
We need Bernie Sanders, 100% pure unadulterated socialism. Should be pretty popular around here. Because lets face it, what's yours should be mine (and vice versa).....
