So how could the Forest Service use $2.9 Billion? They could piss it away on beauracracy. Coffee and donuts, endless planning sessions, more signs, more locked gates, more closed roads, more fees for everything.

While elk hunting this year we drove past the Forest Service little group of cabins. Parked outside are no less than 15 golf carts with little emblems on them. They are for the local campground "hospitality patrol" (collecting fees and handing out tickets). We always yell "FOUR!" as we drive past. LOL!

So much for the land belonging to the people. Public Land? Have you paid your fees? Do you have a permit? Did you read the sign before entering?

This lear we found the Forest Service closed a road that was originally built by gold miners in the 1890's. Thats 113 years folks. It was just a narrow path good for ATV's to get up to timberline. It was not eroding or in bad shape at all. The only people that used the road were us elk hunters. The Forest Service came in and covered the road with logs making it permanently closed. God help us if there is a fire. We will lose the whole mountain since there is no way to get up there anymore with equipment to fight a fire.
Don't forget that the Forest Service is now made up of "greenies" who want to protect the forest from us "multiple users". They also are the ones who make big on overtime pay when a fire breaks out.

You know all of those idiot college students that burn the US flag, scream obscenities, and denounce corporate profits as evil? Where do you think they end up after five+ years of fornicating and binge drinking while pursuing a worthless liberal arts degree? That's right, they continue their jihad against their native country by making sure that more and more land is put off limits to you. Then when the elk herd gets too large, they spend money flying around in helicopters gunning them down and sending you the bill.
