Snopes says the emminent domain agreement is false.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/domain.asp

"Executive Order 13406 ("Protecting the Property Rights of the American People") states that the federal government must limit its use of the taking of private property "to situations in which the taking is for public use, with just compensation" and "not merely for the purpose of advancing the economic interest of private parties to be given ownership or use of the property taken.""

Like Snopes says, I would think this would be big news if it were true. However, I don't know who to believe or trust any more. There are probably all kinds of promises being made that we don't know about.

"I know that there are millions of Americans who are content with their healthcare coverage—they like their plan and they value their relationship with their doctor," Obama told the American Medical Association. "That means no matter how we reform healthcare, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your healthcare plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that healthcare reform should be guided by a simple principle: Fix what's broken and build on what works," the president promised.

Well, it doesn't look like he's going to keep that promise. Fix what's broken?!? I haven't seen any evidence of that. All they're putting into this bill is more gov't control over my life and more pork. I will NOT participate in gov't run health care. I will DIE first. I am ANGRY about this one. We're getting so much socialist CR@P slammed down our throats and now this? I am so angry about this I am ready to storm the White House. This CANNOT pass!

You are for fiscal conservativism, which is what we need the most right now. I fear for our country's future with the debt we're racking up.

You are for health care for children. Agreed, as long as it's limited to those whose parents can't afford it. The minimum criteria keeps rising. And, illegal immigrants should not be eligible. Does that even need to be clarified? YES! It's a shame.

You seem like a decent and intelligent guy. I think we're all pretty much on the same page when it comes to what our administration should be focusing on, regardless of labels.

Karen, you go, girlfriend!

LOL! You had me going. I should pay more attention to what forum I'm in. I saw your post earlier, but didn't read it because we had to file our very first eviction in court today...a single mom with a three year old. :-(

Welcome, Pam! There is some great information here.

Eight kids?!?!? Holy cow!

Josh, you always take a suggestion and make it even better upon implementation. You rock!

"...we can all keep our coverage, just as promised — with, of course, exceptions: Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it. Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers."

I'm going to go find some duct tape.

Josh, when are you going to get a real job? :roll:

Citi recently sent me a notice of change in terms on my AAdvantage card. I don't normally pay attention to them because they typically don't affect me. They changed my rate from 8.9% to almost 16%. I had the right to opt out, which I did. I've had that card for nine years and I used it a lot! My husband and I flew business class to Maui on miles I earned flying plus miles I earned using that card. Just recently, I bought five first class tickets to Miami on miles earned mostly from purchases on that card. So much for being a loyal customer.

Just replace the "C" in Citi with "Sh". That's what I think of them.
