...says Bundy owes $200 per day per head for every day he fails to move his cattle. That amounts to roughly $640 million in damages owed to the federal government...

That's more than half a billion dollars the feds say a rancher owes for disobeying their orders and allowing his cattle to graze on the King's land.

You have to put things in perspective... $640 million won't even buy you a functioning health care website these days.

$1.50 per month per AUM (animal unit monthly, a mother and her calf) is the grazing fee. 900 cattle. Lets do some math. $1350 a month for all his cattle. 12 months a year = $16,200 a year. Now 20 Years. $324,000.

How is $324,000 even close to 1million. How would it be feasible to say there are over $676,000. In late fees, and other things?

They can make up any amount they say. It doesn't make it right.

What damages? Seems to me the only ones causing damage were the BLM. Bundy’s cows were just doing what cows have been doing for over a hundred years.

That’s unconstitutional. It violates the 8th Amendment. Think how abusive that fine level is. Is a turtle really worth that much?
