I smell another NY Times flowchart coming!
Most unfortunate.
Would this make DMV federal employees instead of State employees? Am also wondering if there would be a shift in tax dollars if the Fed's are controlling the DMV's instead of the individual states.
I don't like it. Maybe improving the social security card, putting a picture on it and cleansing the database is a better idea.
FYI... the Swift Vets have nothing to do with this, and the ad company has lots of other clients. It's the same bogus association game the lamestream played to claim that the Swifts had somehow opposed John McCain because their PR firm, Spaeth Communications, had previously been involved in a primary campaign...
Well, given the current mobility of US population, it's high time to federalize as many kinds of license as possible. I have had to exchange drivers'licences due to interstate relocation more times than I care to remember.
I don't need a federal fascist internal passport. The solution to the terrorist problem is to arm the American citizenry.
This sounds like the time period when immigration went from a state controlled issue to a federal controlled issue.
I think if this is uniformity of standards, then it is a good thing. The problem is that traffic laws are different in all the states. Different traffic courts, different regulations, different point systems.
Standards that should be universal accross all states:
-ENGLISH is mandatory to obtain a license.
-Valid proof of USA citizenship or a valid visa.
-A DL would not be valid for any period of time longer than an I-94 visa entry card.
-Photograph required.
The federal gubbermint has no business regulating drivers licenses at a state level dangit.
Its stories like this that make me want to vote libertarian.
Of course its stories about libertarians wanting to get rid of the military that make me vote republican.
