t’s no secret that many people feel that the U.S. Government is synonymous with all things shady, filled with half-truths, loopholes and lingo that sounds fancy, but is really a self-serving set of words designed to offer minimal benefits to the rest of society.

Supporting these opinions is a finding from an Open the Books report which details what people think about the U.S. government – their public relations activities in particular. In a nutshell, Open the Books, which is described as a “nonpartisan, non-profit organization focused on providing transparency in government,” found that the U.S. government spends a shocking amount of money on its public relations efforts. How much, you ask? Enough to report that the “U.S. Government ranked 2nd largest Public Relations Firm in the World” (1, 2)

The report suggests that the U.S. government spent a total amount of about $4.5 billion over the past eight years, which is broken down as follows: 1) some $2.347 billion in salary and bonus payments to federal employees and 2) $2.02 billion spent on outside contractors.(1)
