How much Federal land was sold by the Clinton Administration, and to who?

I don't recall any he sold outright, but I remember him allowing logging on federal lands without being subject to federal environmental standards. Here's an article about it:
1139685
It was 1867 at the time of the purchase, one backed by then Secretary of State William Seward.  Russia was afraid the British would battle for the land and simply take it, and they were having financial troubles, so selling it to anyone was preferable.\n\nIt was a decision initially derided in the U.S., and Seward was ridiculed... the purchase was refered to as "Seward's folly".  Of course the land turned out to be oil-rich and exceedingly strategic in later years, but the Russians had no way of knowing that back then... and to be fair, neither did the U.S.  But it worked out well for the U.S., of course, in the long run.

I like the part where he tried to defend himself saying we haven't heard the full story.  The FBI came back and said he was correct.  They have evidence he collected another $400,000 in a similar scheme, selling "access" to business opportunities in Africa.  Hey, is this the guy sending out those emails from Nigeria?\n\nAnother thing, his name was William Jefferson.  His last name wasn't Clinton was it?

Ahh to have the Urban legend of Bill Clinton, how nice it must have been to live in a world of surplus money that he was supposed to have.  There has never been surplus money in this country.  The National Debt grew to over $5 trillion under his leadership.  It past a trillion dollars for the first time in our Nations History under Reagan and some almost 20 years later when Bill Clinton left office we had a debt of $5,650,000,000.00 or about double what it was when he took office.  And it will double again under Bush, and again under the next president unless we start doing something about it.  I have heard so much about all the surpluses under Clinton, but I have done my homework and there never were any.  You see the American People believe that by reducing the deficit we are reducing the debt.  The answer to that is NO! When we reduce the deficit we reduce the amount our debt grows for that year and that is all we are still spending more money than we are taking in.  John Kerry also believed that Clinton left surpluses of money in fact the amount he quoted during the 2004 campaign was the amount of actual debt that was left at the end of the Clinton administration,(Kerry quoted a $5.65 Trillion surplus at the end of the Clinton Presidency, we were in Debt that amount, maybe that is why he lost).  The only time in the history of our country that there was no National Debt was under Andrew Jackson(1833-41), the last time we had brought in more than we spent and brought it down was over 50 years ago Under President Harry S. Truman who will be my choice for the greatest American President, not only did he have that one year,(and it was the only year since Jackson was President), but he stands alone in History as having been the only man to order the use of Nuclear Weapons against another country in the time of war.  And that distinction goes for all mankind, no one else has ever ordered these weapons to be used against another and let us pray he remains the last as well.

"Area 51 (also known as Dreamland, Watertown, The Ranch, Paradise Ranch, The Farm, The Box, Groom Lake, and The Directorate for Development Plans Area) is a remote tract of land in southern Nevada, owned by the federal government of the United States, containing an air field apparently used for the secret development and testing of new military aircraft. It is famed as the subject of many UFO conspiracy theories."\n\nVia Wikipedia.

Probably around $300 U.S. dollars.  Although with bribes, kick backs and other illegal activities its probably much more.

actually it was in the media. During the Clinton administration. A proposal was made to connect all state level enforcement to centralized federal level but I do not think it was ever completed

I have to disagree with the guy above, about the 3 Trillion it is 8 Trillion and President Clinton balanced the budget in the late 90's with reserves. This debt has come from this administration solely, and they don't care. Why would a millionaire care about $2.50- $5.00 at the pump when they are making more money off of the stock options? The answer is #C and #D and the lenders are part of the problem for America they are the lobbyists that elected this administration.
