Federal budget info

Majja · Jun 29, 2016

Hey all, does anyone know of or come across the Federal government's reports on how much they spend to manage the public lands. I am either looking for a total or even a break down of BLM/Forrest service ect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

For better or worse, the two are completely different agencies in different departments, who only seem to talk to each other when things are on fire.

USFS is a division of the USDA

BLM is a division of the Dept of Interior

Not to wax too philosophic, but the best total federal budget analogy I heard is this: Set 4 quarters on the table, that is the total fed budget. Quarter 1 is defense spending, 2 is social security, 3 is medicare, and the 4th quarter is quite literally everything else. Kind of puts all the drum beating about this and that budget cut into perspective.
