> Has the funding stagnated or has the mandate of these organizations expanded. Does it matter? Expanding scope without increasing funding is functionally equivalent to maintaining scope and reducing funding. If the USFS is expected to do more, they need more funding. If they aren't getting it that's a problem. If the USFS is expected to do the same, they need at least the same funding (adjusted for inflation, at minimum). If they aren't getting it, that's a problem.
