And that statement is quantifiable. Do you have such disdain for LWCF because it has something to do with the promotion and improvement of public lands? Also, you said, "My favorite line is how this won't increase peoples taxes. The money comes from Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf oil lease money. About $5 billion dollars a year into the U.S. General Treasury. They simply want to divert $900 million of that into their coffers. giantsuckingsound"Please explain to a simpleton such as myself how a fund that gets its dollars from Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas leasing, motor boat fuel tax, surplus property sales, and recreational fees could ever raise your taxes? You said your favorite line was how this won't increase your taxes. I took that to mean you were being sarcastic, and you were stating that this would, in fact, raise your taxes. Please explain how, if you could. I'm confused. I mean, I could go nuclear and assume that since you are opposed to LWCF, you're opposed to little league baseball. And therefore, against America. That's the kind of mental gymnastics some of the dinosaurs on this site like to make anyway</blockquote>
