Think about this:
The annual budget for Death Valley National Park, which is larger than Rhode Island, is less than $9 million. The Air Force just grounded the F35 for peeling insulation in the cooling lines for the fuel tanks. The F35 is a $400 billion program. That's Billion with a "B". Pennies for our national parks and forests. Unlimited bloat for defense contractors.
If the Devil's Pupfish take up arms and declare DVNP seceded from the state of CA and the Union you better believe there will be $400B given to the NPS to put those fish b****rds in the ground.
