A Federal State ID, DOGE, and Private Roads

    Immigration and future voting law is going to require State ID, whether that is a Federal State ID (i.e., an American Identification), or one or more of the current state's identifications.

    It has been said that illegal immigrants are a potential problem because: "we don't know who those people are".  Some could be criminals, terrorists, or foreign agents.  If an illegal alien has no ID, it is difficult for the police to relate to the immigrant or do their function.  If there is no photo, scannable data record, and address of residence, then the police are extremely limited.

    Yesterday, President-Elect Trump outlined his new plans for forming the Department of Government Efficiency.  I call DOGE: Dismantling Overblown Government Efficiently.  It is tasked with cutting government that should not exist.  Assuming government still retains its legitimate functions: military, police, judiciary, diplomacy and treasury, removing illegitimate government will bring great progress for Americans.

    When a typical individual is asked about what the embodiment of government inefficiency is, one often says: the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles).  They do provide a photo ID, but there shouldn't be driver's licenses.  A Federal State ID could cover the function of documentation and a picture that can be used in many situations: public or private.

    The argument for government driver licensing can be defeated if roads were made private.  All public roads (except the ones in legitimate government, such as at military bases) could be auctioned and the proceeds could be returned to prior income tax payers.  With present technology, private Road Tycoons can easily solve any problems that arise in running their road businesses.  Advanced GPS and the dawn of autonomous vehicles make conducting the auction timely.  The conversion of public roads to private property also creates a situation that if an individual obtains property from a bid on a road system, there is no law saying that the winner of an auctioned property has to keep all the roads as roads.  He could dig up the concrete in some road sections and build houses where those streets used to be.

    In future months I will be trying to help DOGE in the effort to restore a Constitutionally Limited Republic.  I think the greatest victories will be when entire departments that are identified as being completely illegitimate are eliminated.
