So it looks like the Democrats and Chuck Schumer are pushing again for their national ID card.
For those wondering how this would lead to a national ID card think how this would work. If they have to collection all government, state and federal, photos that is going to alot. Just doing a quick inventory of myself there are 7 and those are current and used, if you include past ones that would not be cleared from a database who knows. All of those pictures look different, from hair changes, weight loss, age, etc.
Since they are going to have that many pictures they need a way of linking them which means that each person will need an individual key. Once you have an ID number that is linked to you and this database that is a national ID under any name.

The article says 600,000 smart phone users and that there will be 8 millions in a few years, including tablets. That is really far off.
there are around 3.2 million DoD employees, active, reserve, and civilian. Lets add a bunch of contractors and say an even 4 million. Very few people get black berries most get regular cellular phone, however even the cheapest cell phones have some "smart" qualifications.
there is no way there are even close to 600,000 using black berries, android or apple devices.
that 8 million is even more of a joke are they planning to slap a tablet on to every large weapon around?

So it uses less gas and generates less emmisions if one truck comes from a single point into a area along a planned path and delivers to everyone instead of having all those individuals drive from the area to the single point?
WOW I would of thought it was the other way.
It is good that these people spent all this time and money to prove that common thinking was all wrong.

Congress want to protect the taxpayer from having to take over the duties that the USPS said they would do, the postmaster general and the postal unions want to make the taxpayers pay for thier poor management and keep things as they are.
Dropping the law requiring the USPS to actually do some proper financial management would not make them competative again; even ignore the money they owe for this they would of lost money for the last couple of years.
BTW the 75 years is number of years that for ACCOUNTING purposes they have to figure future liabilities. It is NOT how long they have to fund benefits. That 75 years of accounting is followed by the DoD, social security, department of Housing, etc.

For some reason, this fortune reminds everyone of Marvin Zelkowitz.
