The Federal Gov't Owns 81.1% of the Land in Nevada.

[eagle1462010]

2010 CBO report showing how much land is owned by the Gov't per State.

So, the State of Nevada only owns 18.9%.

DeMint demands a block to Obama land-grab attempt « Hot Air


Americans should be wary of any plans a president has to seize land from the states without their consent. Any new plans to take away states’ freedom to use land as they see fit must be stopped.

That’s why I sponsored an amendment to block Mr. Obama from declaring any of the 14 lands listed in the memo as “monuments.” Unfortunately, the Senate, led by Democrats, rejected it on Thursday evening by a vote of 58-38.

It was particularly disappointing that the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, of Nevada, voted against the amendment. The government owns more than 80 percent of the land in Nevada and the unemployment rate there is 12.8 percent. Surely it would help job prospects if more land were open for business.

This is a nationwide problem. The government currently owns 650 million acres, or 29 percent of the nation’s total land.

Federal bureaucrats shouldn’t be wasting time thinking up ways to acquire more, especially in the middle of a recession. Taking the nation’s resources offline will stifle job creation and dry up tax revenues.

If anything, the government should be selling land off, not locking more up. By voting against my amendment, the Democrats tacitly endorsed Mr. Obama’s secret plan to close off millions more acres to commerce.

It’s not the first time an administration has used this act to seize land from states. Jimmy Carter grabbed 50 million acres from Alaska over their loud objections, and Bill Clinton almost 6 million in 22 separate actions. These executive actions bypassed Congress altogether and made a mockery of state sovereignty. After all, if a state can’t keep the federal government from unilaterally declaring that their land no longer belongs to them, then states have no real power at all — and neither do the people, represented by Congress.

DeMint’s amendment got defeated on a party-line 58-38 vote.

Just to sum it up.

Carter seized 50 million acres.

Clinton seized 6 million acres.

Obama is pushing for 10 million acres.


The current Nevada situation was started by the policies of Clinton and his Land Grabs. Using executive orders via Enviro/EPA Acts to grab land from the States. Leading to the current crisis.

Why does the Federal Government feel it is necessary to seize MILLIONS of acres from States?

I thought we are the government...let's give it back.

The Great American Land Grab.

In this article you'll see Clinton basically bragging about taking land from States.

Enjoy.

That happened under Reagan and has happened in our history. Others get into office and give back the lands to the States as it should be.

Clinton caused the current problem in Nevada by seizing the land.

Carter seized 50 million acres, and being a good Socialist pig Obama is trying to take another 10 million acres.

The left is calling a man a criminal who is standing up to Land Grabs by Clinton under Executive orders.

Amazing, don't all these Presidents belong to the ASS PARTY.

And Bush didn't give it back to the people. No wonder the Bush's and Clintons get along so well! they're all crooks!

Oh....and you owe pigs an apology.

Big Brother wants it all. And he'll imprison or kill anyone who gets in his way. It's very sad, but it is what it is.

The "looters" never stop.

Nevada was US territory before it was granted the privilege of statehood.

 

[HenryBHough]

As more and more land is usurped by government, whether federal state or local, less remains in private hands and subject to taxation. That means either somebody's services are going to have to be reduced or the property levied on the little bit left in private hands must increase.

That means the mortgage payment you make each month must rise so the bank can pay your property tax bill. But you'll blame the bank.

It doesn't work that way you new york jack ass.

 

[paulitician]

Eminent Domain. More Americans need to become educated on it. It's very disturbing.

So were most states. What's your point?

Most states encourage the government to put national parks in their state

The territories were granted statehood, not independence.

What doesn't? The US doesn't own US territories? Do you think Nevada is a country now or what?

 

[paulitician]

What's yours, is Big Brother's. More Americans need to become more informed on Eminent Domain. It's a very disturbing trend.

Well the Reid family helped to sell a big chunk of public land in Nevada to the Chinese for pennies. So I guess Nevada is just open to being divided up under the "privilege of statehood".

Boy oh boy what a family! Like father like son. Poor Nevada.
