transferred the ownership of the land to the state, the F ed save the 8 billion dollars in financial aid they give to Utah to balance their budget.

The money received from Uncle Sam is a bribe to keep the state from rebelling. If the land in Utah was given back to the state, Utah could slop depending on the Federal government to provide financial aid.
The state would not need the Federal funds if the public land was restored to t he state of Utah. If Utah sold 10 million acres for $800 per acre they balance their state budget without Federal assistance
