Its not overthinking, hell its planned and has been since 1932, true conservatives have been the thorn in Democrats side. But true conservatives, unlike you, don't set and end their agendas in there own pockets.
Any form of government that includes a free populace has to be higher up the intelligence ladder than anarchy.
You believe your simple solutions are brilliant, but your lack of vision makes them more a simpletons plan.
Lets take your beloved "Sell the land" idea. Sell one third of the Forest Service land. So what is going to happen when the government dumps 322 million acres of land on the market? Even if it doesn't hit all at once it will destroy land prices for years. The congress will get a huge windfall, and if its Democratic they'll have enough money for socialist health care that there won't be any opposition to because it will be "Free". Thousands of western ranches will go under because they will no longer have grazing leases. The demand for illegals will skyrocket, they be needed to do all this thinning you claim private companies will do, of course they won't be American companies, they'll be Arabian, European, and Asians who buy it. Americans capital will take a hit keeping them out of the market, but not the foreign companies. Thats just the tip of the iceburg.
Great plan Liberty, certainly certifies your ignorance.
