Funding cuts to parks and trails has nothing to do with the cost of maintaining the trails.
It is simply government extortion to avoid having to actually cut real uneeded expenses.
Anytime there is any budget shortfall the first thing a sitting group of elected officials
does is cut those services that the public directly uses. Libraries, Parks and Recreation,
Museums, etc. In most cases these are the least expensive part of government
operations. heck a hiking trails maintenance costs are so minimal as to be absolutely
negligable. But by closing them it extorts people into making the choice 'Well I really
want my parks so I will pay more in taxes and fees" rather than the government actually
cutting the wasteful spending such as crooked asphault contracts to politicians brother
in laws or high paid do nothing commissions lawyers and administrators. This is the
same reason that whenever voters vote down a school budget the first thing the school
district does is cancel the school bus service It maximizes the inconvenience and pain
to the voters in the most direct way possible in order to get their desired result. It's a
crooked scam that we have let go on for most of the 20th century.

Indeed. Another facet of political psychology is to distract from these crooked tactics and engage
the public in didy battles of rhetoric. It is but a game, with pretend "sides", and the only rule is never
speak of this game so the public is never any wiser.

You might surmise that manipulation negates the freedom ofthe public's vote, allowing those
with the capability of insidious corruption to maintain power while hamstringing the public's
curiosity for truth.

I propose that what made America great was an abundance of natural resources and an
incompetent government (by design) that took a few hundred years before it could manage to
wedge itself in between competent people exploiting those resources, Now that government is
firmly wedged in, the run is over.

Speaking of which, what is environmental reform in the political arena? Is the goal really to help the
environment, or just an attempt by these same elected offcials to utilize the cry for a cleaner earth
to gain more power and money.
