5. The interim destination of where this goes is PRIVATIZATION.

I think you're correct on the final destination, Bettie, but declining visitor numbers mean declining revenue. Some or another foghorn will start performing on FoxNews about the scandalous misappropriation of funds and waste in the parks and call on Congress to "let" business run them efficiently. Kinda like they're all over the Post Office for. Of course, those businesses will extract every possible nickel (since we no longer make pennies) from the parks and leave them way worse than they found them. It's been the program since Reagan, because of course "we" must trust business but "we" should never trust government.
