Instead of balancing the budget, our government will now sell off the precious lands of our country. The clause which precludes use of the land by the foreign investors, is not necessarily always best for citizens; also what guarantee is there that these lands will not one day be commandeered by countries hostile to our interests. I blame the rogues in government who have forgotten their place, but also the American people for not watching the ball. We need to educate citizens, so they will have a deeper understanding of history and human nature, how the government functions, and why each persons (sacred) vote is so critical to our Republic and our constitution. As it is now we are loosing our country, our identity, our borders, and our freedom. And some are still saying, "Oh that will never happen."
