Good old conservative Red State Republicans aren't helping much.

It's already in the works.

The department is also working to transfer responsibility and management of some existing parks to nearby private resorts.

I've seen this sort of thing more than once: two kids, usually both girls or a boy and girl, sitting side by side on a bus.... texting each other.
Their parents must have been sitting across the aisle, pills at the ready, making sure they didn't interact directly with each other.

That's of course within the rights of a private, wealth-building, job-creating owner.

Then you will have to pay a fee to enter any park. It will amount to MORE than you would have had to pay in taxes previously, because the private interest must turn a profit on it...........
And Republicans will call this a victory for YOU.

You got it. Which, of course, is the true purpose of privatization.

We live in the Corporate States of America. The Gordon Geckos have taken over the land. Welcome to hell if the Repubs take over the White House in '16 and they get to replace Ginsberg on the high court.
