Goodbye, National Parks

Trump is decimating environmental protection for every natural area. Oceans, plains, mountains, forests. Indiscriminate oil and gas drilling. Industrial coal mining, Clearcut logging.

Wholesale destruction of what is left of our natural world here in the United States.

He's cutting funding for what remains. Everyday workers who keep our open spaces clean, control wildfires, repair flooding damage. The cuts do not affect the big salaries, the executives, the boys in the office. No, he's removing those who have no money, no powerful friends or top=flight attorneys to stop this.

For what? A economist stated all the current cuts amount to approximately 8 percent of the national debt. Enough to fund the tax cuts for the 1 percent.

Who is to stop him and Musk from selling our National Parks? Our Parks are the marvel of the world, the destination of nearly every international tourist, and he and Musk may very well decide to sell the land for dross.

After all the Parks are considered a national treasure. Or is it treasure chest?
