I saw this headline today:
Bureau of Land Management launches immediate fee cuts delivering meaningful cost savings for families during the holidays
The article went on to explain that President Donald Trump plans to save the nation over 10 million dollars this holiday season by offering Christmas trees and cords of wood for just $1.
No, this wasn’t an article in the Onion. It’s not something Jimmy Fallon said in one of his monologues. According to the Bureau of Land Management’s Website:
“Under President Trump, we are making Christmas affordable again,” said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum. “American families deserve real relief and savings during the holidays, and at Interior, we are making certain that they can heat their homes while keeping their traditions alive. The ‘One Dollar, One Tree’ initiative is a powerful example of how our public lands can deliver lasting benefits for the American people, making this season brighter and more affordable for all.”
So, if you have your own chainsaw, a wood-burning furnace and live in one of the twelve westerns states or Alaska where the BLM manages forests, you’re in luck.
I’m not sure how much it’s going to cost most people to save their part of the total $10 million, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be more than than $1.00.
With that kind of budgetary genius, it’s no wonder the nation is in debt!
