Wonder why no one in DC has suggested that every nickle of these sort of settlements should come directly out of some other feel good mandated bit of social engineering?
Lie about spotted owls or "wild" coho salmon and pay for it out of money set aside for NPR, NEA, or any number of federally funded Gay/Lesbian/illegal immigrant/etc. support programs.
Otherwise, it'll come out of money that might possible be spent to benefit the entire country.
Well...maybe it would.

Why not prosecute the people who lied? Surely some midlevel bureaucrat had to sign a piece of paper authorizing the cancellation of contracts. Punish this person with prison time, demotion, or fines. There had to be a clear violation of the law or there wouldnt be these huge settlements to the logging industry. I am tired of our government wasting our money.
Why not pass laws that make bureaucrats liable for their decisions?
