CLIVEN BUNDY STEALS FROM AMERICA: THE SCARY RETURN TO THE WEST WHERE GUNS - NOT LAW - RULE… Fox News has a dangerous new hero. Hes harming public lands and taxpayers, and proving the need for grazing reform… This isn’t about Freedom - it’s about privilege, it’s about taking something and giving nothing back, it’s about being arrogance, and pompous… As Bundy musters up an army of supporters for this theft from the American public and the harm to the public lands, taxpayers lose at least $123 million each year that the federal grazing program continues. According to the Government Accountability Office, in 2005, the grazing fee wasn’t nearly sufficient to cover the costs of managing public lands grazing, and we – you and me, but apparently not Mr. Bundy – subsidize the program with $1.2 billion every decade, not counting the additional costs of species recovery, range infrastructure, soil loss, weed infestations, increasing wildfires, and bacterial… contamination of water supplies. Despite the efforts of Western Watersheds Project and others, the fee formula has never been revised. salon/2014/04/18/cliven_bundy_steals_from_america_the_scary_return_to_a_west_where_guns_not_law_rule/
