Public land transfer issue

Trump is a real life version of an Internet troll. I'm sure he might win with his ideas if he just changed his tone. He is proving that the person that shouts the loudest wins.

And public land management is just $13.4b. That's less than 0.4% of the federal budget. Asking the states with the most public land like CO and Alaska to come up with an extra $1b a year to maintain lands is unreasonable and unattainable. For instance the Colorado state budget is $5.6b, the state is 25% public land so as an estimate we'll say that it will cost $2b to maintain it. That's now 26% of the state budget. This is even worse for states like WY that the amount of land per capita is much larger.

I've found that most people in favor of the "transfer" try to avoid the numbers. Math and facts get in the way of their goals.
