Tips for knowing what the government owns

The entire federal government has been ordered by the President to cut costs by getting rid of "unneeded federal real estate."

Sounds great in theory, but there's one catch. No one seems to be sure exactly how much land and property the federal government owns.

Pro-Tip: It owns ALL of it.

Citizens may lease.

If they are selling, I would love to buy 10-20 acres of Ouachita National Forest for some quartz mining and to build a cabin to camp in while mining in the fall-spring. If they are willing to sell, I am willing to buy. Right now you can only get mining leases and have to jump through a bunch of hoops to do that.

I would be all over this. As long as it's truly free and clear I'd pay good money to get it.

Don't you mean; the land we the people own?

We the people of the several states should get together and give back some of the federal land in Idaho taken by the feds, back to Idaho to use as they deem fit.
