There is an enormous amount of federal land that could and should be sold to the public to create jobs and stimulate economic activity, yet the federal government holds it. Why?
Does the poster mean the Grand Canyon? What land is he/she speaking of? President Obama posted an excess federal lands interactive map on the Whitehouse website and streamlined the process for interested buyers. Of course, fox news didn't report on that.
