so the National Parks are Closed

Posted by **pycb** on Oct 2, 2013 at 11:03:37 AM:

what would be the big deal if the National Parks were permanently shuttered anyway?

taken away from Federal control?

why not simply turn them over the states that they are in to administer?

the Feds could allocate the money that was in the budget to run that particular park for the 1st year & give it to the host state - after that it would be up to the state to decide how & if it should be funded with any proceeds coming from tourism going back to the state

perhaps giving the state some sort of ongoing partial & time limited tax credit to help with the funding

after all - isn't the Federal government's job to oversee & protect the nation as a whole (the common good/external threats) rather than overseeing acreage that resides within an individual state's boundaries?

let the states determine the best way to handle & administer them in a way that's best for the state

how did the Feds become "the groundskeepers" with the rest of the nation funding their operations for areas of land that reside within a given state & who benefit from the land being where it is?

just a thought...........
