    1) The government has a huge debt.

    2) The government owns huge piles of land.

    I see a solution to the national debt.

    Then who is paying the property taxes lost when the government owns it
    It is killing the local boards with the loss of revenue as I know as being on a local board

  3. Larry Gillihan says:

    The federal government owns nothing…not one stick or stone…absolutely nothing. Everything is owned by the people, not the government.

    As you study the Bible you will see that God used men/women to get His job done. As a Christian one must do all you can for the glory of God. We have the most powerful tool that others who don’t know Jesus as their personal savior don’t have and that is PRAYER. Clear your mind and pray 15 seconds a day. If you find time to clear your mind then pray more. In the love and joy! of Jesus. Howard

    We are blessed to have such "Paul Reveres" as Curt Tomlin of Christian Alert Network and Gary North to explain what is ahead.. Keep it up.. b.j. Benbow
