the piece that makes me nervous is the selling off of government owned properties. its one of the most valuable and stable assets the government owns and hes attempting to sell it off.. some of it we would then have to lease from private owners.

Well, that's the other half - destroy democracy and liquidate its assets like a failed casino.

Wouldn't it be nice if that sarcasm didn't reflect reality?

Isn't that a classic corporate raid technique? Sell the company's assets to you or an organization you control, then lease them back to the original owners.

Yea turns out the new property management company has its own profit driven motives, and will only push leases higher and higher...
