How Large Is Our Government?
Last week we carried an editorial on the indebtedness
of the federal government, showing that the interest
alone on the debts was $17,960 per minute. This week
we offer a cheering note and show what is on the other
side of the ledger . . . what the government owns.
According to the Congressional Record, in a state
ment made by Rep. Edward Derwinski (of Illinois), the
federal government owns: (1) 767.75 million acres of
land, or about one out of every three in the country. (In
Nevada it owns 85 percent of the land, in Alaska over
95 percent.) (Editor’s note: 53 percent in Oregon.)
(2) 421,360 buildings with nearly 2.5 billion square
feet of floor space in the U. S. used by the military and
other government agencies. It also leases 96.4 million
square feet of building space and nearly 1,676,000 acres
of the land in the U. S., in addition to 133,000 acres of
land and 16.7 million square feet of building space leased
outside the U. S.
(3) $122 billion of military weapons, equipment and
supplies.
(4) $15 billion of farm commodities and stockpiled
strategic materials.
In addition, the federal government has loaned $24
billion to veterans, home owners, businesses, farmers,
foreign countries and others.
WHAT IS YOUR PART?
If there were any way of knowing the total value of
all this, one could figure out what his part came to . . .
divide the total by the latest population figure. But no
one knows the value. The land has never been privately
owned, in most cases, and hence no figures are available
on acquisition costs. On the items that have been bought
and paid for by the government the cost would not be
a very good figure for present value. Government’s pro
jects have usually cost a great deal more than similar
ones of private enterprise.
But if the value could be determined, would there
be any good in knowing? Would there ever be a chance
that it would be divided like a private estate? Definitely
not! Once the government goes into competition with
private enterprise it seldom retires from the field.
What would it be like if the government kept only
what is necessary for our national defense and sold the
other items to commercial purchasers. Can you imagine
the boost in income for the nation and the amount of
income taxes that could be paid into the coffers to sup
port those functions best performed by the government?
