The race to pillage the nation's public assets is heating up. Just today the NYT reports that the chairman of the FCC wants to weaken limits on ownership of federally-licensed broadcasters to the vanishing point, and that the Bureau of Land Management proposes to further limit the amount of old-growth forest that is off-limits to loggers in the Pacific Northwest.
If you think this is bad, wait until you see what the Bush people try to do as their time grows really short. They will make the give-aways under Reagan and the first Bush look like child's play. All that advocates of probity and sense can do is to fight a holding action, hoping for relief after January 20, 2009.
