“We need to get beneath the surface. The real problem can be seen on the maps. The federal government exercises ownership over land that it should not own. If the federal government auctioned off this land to the highest bidders, using the money exclusively for paying off the federal debt, the nation would be a lot better off. But the government refuses to do this. My hope is that this showdown in Nevada will raise this question: ‘If a private owner controlled access to the land, would the Bundy family work out a deal?’ I think it would. The BLM has lost the first round: in the media. It thought it could steal Bundy’s cattle and get away with it. The plan has backfired.”
