On the recordMarch 21, 1996
Karl Hess, Jr., a senior fellow at the Cato Institute--that is not exactly the citadel of liberalism down here--says: Domenici's bill is bad for ranchers, bad for public lands, and bad for the American taxpayer. It will not improve management of public lands and it will not be a fix for the hard economic times now faced by ranchers. What it will do, however, is deepen the fiscal crisis of the public land grazing program by plunging it into an ever-deepening deficit. If western ranchers insist on supporting this bill and the additional costs associated with it, they should be prepared to pay the price.
