If you had talked to Texas conservatives fifty years ago you would have heard that government should not own land except for military reservations and a few public buildings. When the Soviet Union fell and the US sent in the banksters to privatize the economy one of the first things on the to-do list was to sell off state assets, usually very, very cheaply and to the well connected.
