Section 1. Policy Sixteen percent of the American population lives in rural counties. Strong, sustainable rural communities are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead. These communities supply our food, fiber, and energy, safeguard our natural resources, and are essential in the development of science and innovation. Though rural communities face numerous challenges, they also present enormous economic potential. The Federal Government has an important role to play in order to expand access to the capital necessary for economic growth, promote innovation, improve access to health care and education, and expand outdoor recreational activities on public lands.The Blaze picked up this story, in an article written by Mike Opelka. That whole thing sounds benign if not warm and fuzzy, doesn't it? Question: is there anything this bunch has done that's benign? I wonder who's running this show?
Oh, that makes me feel much better. Valerie Jarrett, TurboTax Timmy, John "let's put contraceptives in the water" Holdren, Michael Copps, either the biggest turd on the FCC or a close second... the whole den of thieves. As Obi-Wan said, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy".

You have to ask why. After all, the fed.gov already has power over these areas, already has tons of programs to manage farmlands and crops, even paying farmers not to produce. They already provide loans. On the other extreme, there's already a National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management to provide "outdoor recreational opportunities". In other words, they're already deep into this "under served" 16% of the country. Why now? Note the buzzwords "sustainable rural communities" in that first paragraph. Author Opelka puts this whole thing in the context of UN Agenda 21, which is all about "sustainable growth" - which is code for elimination of private property. Newsflash: if it's from the UN, it's socialist. I'm sure you're as shocked as I am to hear this.
