We've seen from the disastrous results of the Obama Administration's lead from behind strategy that America's weakness only invites global instability.

It certainly appears that you are continuing that in your role as the Director at the Bureau of Land Management.

Oh, I see, it was the previous administration's fault that there are 193 tons of garbage that had been dropped on the Federal lands. Is that what you are saying?

It is over-regulation from Federal Governments that are out of control.

What is more important, a little bit of gravel and maybe some roadwork to fix the road up or freedom to actually be able to use them?

Because people will say, 'OK, sure, it has an economic impact. But this is benefiting the environment by reducing the access, by having these predators on the landscape.'

we need some good tort reform in this country, to where when these people bring up these crazy lawsuits, by God, we can get money back from them when they lose these suits

If you just allow public unfettered access you are going to end up with roads that are all rutted up.

We are going to go someplace where we can get that done in much quicker time.

To me, that is almost a crime that Congress isn't being able to have some oversight on those regulation when the EPA passes them, and driving our costs up.

It has to have had a great economic impact. Is that right?
