My only response to sales off the National forest is this: you’re injecting the government into the market. Why could go wrong?
There is a WALL of wood out there in private hands being managed by professionals. We? don’t need federal wood. At all. There is no shortage of wood, and the demand is ALWAYS met by industry supply. In fact, if you ask anyone in the timber industry, they’ll? tell you that the industry’s Achilles heel is that it is almost too good at flooding the market with supply when demand goes up. They? never enjoy high prices for very long. Typical commodity market.
We? don’t need the National forests adding more supply. It would be analogous to having the fed get into the farming business. Not necessary or advisable.

But we should be managing it.
Don’t disagree. Especially against disease like the pinewood beettle, which makes future massive fires in Canada a virtual certainty.
So they are burning the Forest in the mountains for HSR that is nowhere near there? It's better to keep your mouth shut and make us assume you are an idiot than open it and confirm it.
