美國布希政府提案出售價值8億美元的林務局土地,用以籌措鄉村教育經費,此議案27日受到國會議員嚴厲批評,預料將無法通過國會審查。奧勒岡州民主黨籍國會議員威登(Ron Wyden)抨擊,這個提案等於讓鄉村社區走向「俄羅斯輪盤」般的自殺之路,而且將讓一些社區陷入經濟困境。

Senate Panel Threatens to Axe U.S. Forest Service Land Sales
WASHINGTON, DC, February 28, 2006 (ENS)

The plan plays "Russian roulette" with rural communities who rely on the program and would send some "off an economic cliff," said Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat.
