Can you list what sites were cleaned up due to Obama policies? How bout Trump? Just because one spends more money does not mean one has accomplished more.

At the end of fiscal year 2008, there were 1,257 sites on the National Priorities list for cleanup. By the end of fiscal year 2016, that number had increased to 1,337 sites. Here is an MSM article during the first term of the Obama administration. It was neither written to be pro Trump, as this was long before anyone but a clairvoyant could have known Trump would become President. Nor is it a conservative site. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/32351544/ns/us_news-environment/t/obamas-epa-plans-fewer-toxic-cleanups/ While in 2017 under Trump the EPA already was targetting more superfund sites than under Obama. https://www.epa.gov/superfund/superfund-task-force-final-report and one year later, https://www.epa.gov/superfund/superfund-task-force-status-recommendations In his first year 13 superfund sites were cleaned up. How much money is spent is far less important than how it is spent!

I never said cattlemen wanted to graze their cattle for free. They pay for grazing rights! https://land.az.gov/grazing-leases-agreements-and-improvements And how much land is private in your State? In my State of AZ, only 17% of the State is available for private ownership!!!!! https://arizonaland.com/wilderness-ranch-land/sierra-mountain-ranch/only-17-percent-of-land-in-arizona-is-private/

My post was in response to a post with a link which linked Trump's statement regarding the inaugeral crowds to the National Parks Service. It was that article which made the connection, not me.

As for Trump stealing "our" land. By what right should any of "MY" State's 17% of private land or state land become "YOUR" land by government proclamation? Did you pay me or any of us for it? This was eminent domain on a grande scale with NO reimbursement!!! Not even a token reimbursement! Trump did not steal the land. He returned it to the owners!!!! Whether those owners were the residents of a State as a whole, or private owners. He returned stolen goods. Returning stolen goods is not stealing!

This is true, and as they say assholes are like opinions and everyone has one. Humor, das goot.

I see, except that wasn't me.

Some ranchers do some don't.

I wouldn't be talking about stealing private land, would I? Though... they can claim it under eminent domain.

You actually believe Trump claimed this to give land back to the owners, really, please validate that, that's not what I've seen.
