PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The federal government plans to spend more than $200 million over the next three years on programs to protect greater sage grouse in Western states — regardless of whether the bird receives federal protections, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said.

Vilsack told The Associated Press that he wants to almost double protected habitat for the elegant chicken-sized bird, to 8 million acres by 2018. He also promised more will be done to limit residential development in sage grouse habitat and to restore wetlands used by the birds.

Nearly half of the roughly $211 million the government plans to invest over the next three years will go toward buying conservation easements, Vilsack said at a formal announcement of the program in Portland, Oregon. Land under easement can only be used for grazing, but can't be developed for other purposes.

This is why I say that tax evasion is patriotic.

This is why the leftists are stupid. They bitch about how bad government is......they don't give free healthcare, free education, they give money to the rich, they rob from the poor.....

and then, what do they say?


we need to raise taxes...and give that money to the same people that they bitch about. How does that make any freaking sense?

that is exactly what they say...as if somehow, the same people stealing, wasting and losing the 18 trillion we have already given them....will suddenly become responsible with even more money that they would get with increased taxes...right?

and of course, as history shows, lowering the tax rates increases tax revenue to the government...but that is another issue...

I remember when the Denver to Boulder road paid itself off in three years, built by Americans in short time. Now WE need to pay to outlander contractors to do the same freeking thing for next for 50 years just to expand that same road?. Explain to me that math here?
