With Quantitative Easing?

Bailouts, QE, near-zero interest rates--whatever you want to call it.  The financial system is backstopped by the FED and they know it.  If Wall Street disappeared, the US economy would probably be better off...

I am personally and unfortunately i believe there is no way in todays world that Trump will win & i'm ready to put up with the what's coming around the corner .

 

I unlike others will put up with it because it looks like the Pres. lost (with out whining & with a little hope) like i did last time (unlike others) no crying no making up BS fake Russian dossier stories paid for by those that can't except what happens as to not waste other Americans time and hard earned money on a wild goose chase .

 

But will still believe that actions speak louder than words and history along with those actions will hold the truth . 

 

But i have started studying Chinese seeing as they will be your biggest friends for at least the next 4 yrs .

Washington Is the World's Largest Landowner. Can Federal Land Sales Erase the National Debt ?

Ward Clark

 

The United States federal government is one of, if not the, largest debtors on the planet, currently holding $36 trillion in debt. That's a "T" followed by a "rillion."

 

The United States federal government is also one of, if not the, largest landowner on the planet, currently holding over 615 million acres through various agencies, like the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service, various national parks and monuments, and so on.

 

Thomas Sowell, economist, economic philosopher, commentator, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, professor of economics at several major universities, and one of the smartest people on the planet, has proposed a way that one of these things can be used to help address the other.

 

In short: Sales of federal land could be used to pay down the debt.

 

We aren't talking a few hundred acres, either.

 

The Western states in particular include a lot of federal lands. Nevada is 80 percent federal land. Utah, 63 percent, Idaho, 62 percent, and Alaska (amazingly) is in 4th place, with 60.9 percent - although we have far and away the greatest total amount, with over 222 million acres held by the federal government; that's about a third of the total amount of federal landholdings.
