Something like 50% of land in the west is owned by the federal government. Look up a map of it, it's nuts.
Just sell the land.
1. Massive money immediately
2. Lots of land to build new homes or industrial plants or whatever, probably a baby boomers and an economic bump
3. Reduced overhead from having to deal with all that land
A new wild west.

@sj_zero sure you had the thought all by yourself?
@sj_zero Sorry, but money is not the problem. It can be, and it has been, printed more. And thus they inflated the value of everything and can purchase more land to be parked or sold to (((investors))), because keeping the land productive will not create the food shortage they are after.

@sj_zero it does seem simple, but...
A huge proportion of this land is desert, frozen tundra or otherwise not easily inhabited by humans.
Development of marginal land is one of the reasons why wildfires have been running rampant over the American West in recent years and also one of the major reasons why there are critical water shortages across the southwest. Developing even more marginal land would make those issues worse.
Does the government need to own it? No. But someone else has to want it for some use that makes sense in order for this plan to be in any way workable.
