The U.S. is the world's biggest importer of wood and wood products. What is wrong with trying to use some of our under utilized timber reasources. Increasing logging back up to traditional long term levels will be deflationary, help the economy, and reduce our already too high trade deficit. Everyone will thereby be better off with these fair and balanced new rules.

Prosecutor ? That sound like a GOOD PLAN. But everytime our government lays out a plan like this and say it will improve our economy or trade deficit where does the MONEY GO!!!! I have my own opinions and i believe alot of planning like this goes to support the wealthy. Our trade deficit was not brought on by the National Forest, but from our own GOV, who handles our destiny. If the GOV, would give in detail that the money will be put in a certain area ie,... into our National Forest, kinda like clean up our trash, Make sure we preserve our wilderness areas, then I would be all for it. Politicians say it will create jobs !!!!! Then when election time comes around they get credit for creating jobs, They don't deserve the credit!!!!! They take what is suppose too be every AMERICAN's National Forest, we all own, and market it to there own fullfillment. They are always looking at areas too make money. Why don't they take a look at what got us into a Trade Deficit in the first place and FIX IT.

Okay I Need too stop here!!!! Getting ticked off!!!!!! The new plans to help our TRADE DEFICIT will never work. Watch and see, and don't turn your back or forget this TOPIC.
Our GOV is on a brink of being out of control!!! Yes we do have what i believe in the best Nation!!! But we need to change our direction or rethink where we are and where we want to go.

When America's Native Indians lost to a Government, they lost it all!!!!!!! We are a witness to this and we are continuing the loss for future generations. It's our DESTINY.............

We can always count on Ed for a good laugh. Did you copy&paste those timber industry and hard rock mining talking points or do you have them memorized by now? It's just the same old #&%!$: 'recycled' crap, you might say.

Gotta love those self-referent paradoxes, though: 'airline food,' 'army intelligence,' 'rap artist'... 'republican backpacker'. The first lesson in proof technique is: when you begin with a false premise, you can "prove" anything.

The United States has 5% of the world's population and 30% of the world's economic output. Sounds like our economy is doing okay. It would do better with more logging, which is at 20% of sustainable levels. By modernizing the timber harvesting procedures, the U.S. can return to making money selling timber while helping our economy.

Hey Tilt, try arguing with some facts instead of insults. Oh, you don't have any facts to support your extreme leftist opinions. I guess your stuck with insults. How about a few more.
