i am hoping no..but i would like to have an answer.
National Parks are owned by the people of the United States. A treaty was signed in 1972 with the United Nations as a regulatory move to protect these lands. If the US Government does not manage the Parks according to the terms of the treaty, the UN has the power to step in and supercede the government.
Because...let's face it...these areas don't belong to just Americans - they are natural treasures of the WORLD. The treaty was ratified under the Nixon administration.

How did Clinton create a budget surplus?
He borrowed money from off budget funds! Here is a basic run down, but follow the links to the government website to seek the truth for yourself so you will know its not just some guy on his computer lying to you. The facts are on the government run websites...don't use Fox, MSNBC , FactCheck, or others because they are going to do the same thing Clinton did...Lie.
How Clinton managed to claim a surplus was that while the general operating budgets ran deficits but Clinton borrowed from numerous off budget funds to make the on budget fund a surplus.
For example, in 2000, Clinton claimed a $230B surplus, but Clinton borrowed
$152.3B from Social Security
$30.9B from Civil Service Retirement Fund
$18.5B from Federal Supplementary Medical insurance Trust Fund
$15.0B from Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund
$9.0B from the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund
$8.2B from Military Retirement Fund
$3.8B from Transportation Trust Funds
$1.8B from Employee Life Insurance & Retirement fund
$7.0B from others
Total borrowed from off budget funds $246.5B, meaning that his $230B surplus is actually a $16.5B deficit.
($246.5B borrowed - $230B claimed surplus = $16.5B actual deficit).
If there is ever a true surplus, then the national debt will go down.
the national debt did not go down one year during the Clinton administration.
