Hopefully the money is for preserving nature, and not building bigger roads and tourism facilities like hotels.
I have a feeling this is going to get vetoed.
Good deal. The National Parks are truly priceless and one of the best investments the country has ever made.
The national parks are one of the crown jewels of American culture. They manage to hit a sweet spot of ease of access, preservation and diversity in a way that seems to be very rare in the world.
I definitely didn't appreciate this enough until I left the US. I'm Australian, and while we have large national reserves with really cool stuff out there, it doesn't have the same level of infrastructure and access. Now I live in Europe, where there are no where near as many national parks.
Thank you for saving these treasures
