A brilliant stroke of genius by the federal government made it through a few months ago. It's called the Real ID system. As much as I like him, it was a boneheaded move by Congressman Chandler to go with this legislation. It was passed pretty strongly but it's a nightmare issue now. They say it's not a national id system but that's exactly what it is.

The RealID is nothing more than national ID system. no matter how much they deny it, it is and it's going to cost. The states are being forced, without any form of subsidization at all to swallow this load of bull. The Arkansas governor, a Republican said it's going to triple or quadruple our cost for drivers license. It already costs $20 in KY. What happens when it hits $60 or $80? A lot more people will go without a license I'd say.

New Mexico and states like them will be in a real predicament. They already give license to illegal immigrents and while some may say that's wrong in and of itself, according to the governor, it does document them so they know where they are and it allows them to get insurance so others aren't forced to pay for their problems.

It's absolutely insane. The federal government is going to make the states pay for one more way for them to keep tabs on us. Remember you heard it hear when someone asks you "your papers pleasee?"
