As much as I dislike Robert Byrd, and as much as I'd like to see everyone sharing the pain of cuts, including government workers not getting pay raises, I voted for the cut of fundiung for the Government to buy land. The U.S. Government is much too big as it is. They don't need to ruin families by buying land, much if it land used by ranchers to graze their cattle under a BLM contract for which they pay a fee.
