I'd like you to attempt to explain this, if you can. Which government

How about the Park Service? The gov't owns huge tracts of land which are
very nice to visit... poor people can't afford to retire & tour the
countryside in motor homes.

Oh please! You are really reaching. The parks are free. Anyone can
visit them, rich and poor alike.


The parks are free, eh?

Simpleton.

No, they are not anymore. The government is making it a cash cow. Under
Clinton and the Park Service. (I mention Clinton, to blunt you putting it
on the current administration) they raised the fees at Yosemite to $20
entry. This did price out the single mom from Madera, or other nearby areas
from a day trip. And most of the people who go to Yosemite are not driving
motor homes. It is a local park to a lot of California. Is only 150 miles
from San Francisco. But a lot of the subsidized transportation directly
benefits the poor. They can now jump on BART and head to the burb's to rob
and jump back on the train to home.
