Anyone, illegal aliens, terrorists, can cross our borders quite easily.
Any kind of device can be shipped into our ports.
Do you want both of them totally secured?

They require you to pay a reinstatement fee in order to get it back. Do I have to pay the reinstatement if I know longer live in that state? Or can I just go and take the drivers test for the new state?

Australia spends about 10% of GDP (60 billion USD) on health, private & public, with Medicare & Private Health Insurance Rebate Scheme. A two tiered payment system ensures a combination of ‘user pays’ with ‘tax payers pay’.
USA spends 15% of GDP on health with no universal health.
The Australian health pie is divided up:
public hospitals = $20.4b (25%) (17.34 Billion USD)
medical services = $13.0b (11.05b USD)
pharmaceuticals = $10.9b (9.2b USD)
private hospitals = $6.1b (5.1b USD)
residential aged care & dental = $5.0b (4.25b USD)
admin/research = $3.6 b AUD (6%) (3b USD)

America is 15 X Australia's pop. (21 mill) and has similar demographics, lifestyle, age etc. Americans fork out 5% more on GDP to keep healthcare companies rich and ordinary Americans sick. Australian ‘outpatients’ see doctors privately and choose who they see. ‘Inpatients’ in public hospitals may see an appointed doctor but it is free. Reciprocal health agreements with other countries are also a benefit.

If taxpayers were allowed to earmark up to 10% of their tax donation money for the exclusive use of one or more taxpayer specified government departments, would you support that change of legislation.. and do you think it could work?

Example:
Taxpayer X has a $1000 tax burden and he expresses his option to designate that it will be spent in the following way:

By mandate of law:
90% automatically goes into the general fund ($900)

By taxpayer choice:
10% to the Department of Education ($10)
30% to the Department of Defense ($30)
10% to the Department of Transportation ($10)

Would such a change better serve the desires of our population while allowing our legislators to continue flexibly allocating money from the general fund for running the government?

Specifically. What has your party done for you personally? I'm not looking for what each party supposedly stands for, only what has YOUR party done for YOU?
If you're a Dem, what has your party done to make your life easier or better? Same with Cons. What have they done to make your life easier or better?

No rants please. Just intelligible answers.

And isn't there something better you could be doing - than trying to shift some of the most entrenched political opinions and philosophies on the planet, or getting three thumbs up from your buddies and feeling chuffed ?

And if this place makes about as much sense as talking to a cat - in terms of getting a message across or actually learning anything (we all know the opinions and arguements by now surely). and if people only believe what they want too believe - whats the point?

No-one is listening.
