A Modest Proposal for the Federal Parks

If I were in Congress, I’d be introducing legislation to turn the national parks over to the states.
Exactly. The states would exercise much better stewardship, free from the crazed political posturing we have seen from the Obama administration."     [PowerLine]

Precisely ..... why not?  Turnover the 400+ parks to the states.  They should charge admission fees to cover their expenses and if not sufficiently revenue neutral (not popular enough at the prices charged for admission), close it down.  The states would do a more conscientious job, the federal guv'mint would shed 25,000 employees and we would save about $3 BILLION of our tax revenue every year that is now appropriated to run them federally.     [clipper]
