An Excellent Way to Cut Unnecessary Federal Spending
Dear Senator Cruz,
President elect Donald Trump has stated the he wants to cut
unnecessary spending and make America Great Again.
The Counties in the Western States have vast amounts of BLM land
over which they cannot collect property taxes. The U.S. taxpayers
make up for the various Counties lack of tax revenue by sending
them funds from the U.S. Treasury known as "Payment in Lieu of
Taxes". As a resident of Texas I do not see why I should be
helping out with the property taxes in the Western States. I feel
burdened enough with my own property taxes.
I have an excellent two fold money saving solution. President
Trump and the Congress should transfer the BLM land to the
respective States. That way we could get rid of the unnecessary
expenditure of "Payment in Lieu of Taxes" and we could rid
ourselves of all the thousands of non productive BLM employees,
offices and equipment that are associated with the ownership of
the land. The BLM employees could then obtain real productive jobs
in the private sector that soon to be President Trump is already
creating. By having private sector jobs that create real products
with demand and needed services, then the ex-BLM employees would
be doing their part to help make America Great Again.
To use some buzz words. This would truly be a Win Win.
Sincerely,
Luke Shipp
