Uiversal healthcare alone would need an enormous amount of money.......how is this possible....or is this not what they said?

Currently both the American and Canadian armies have minesweeping vehicles called Aardvark Mark 4. These have been used worldwide for sweeping minefields etc. There are so so many dieing when theres a vehicle that can take care of it and not hurt driver. These vehicles flailing up and down the travelled roads in both Afg and Iraq, would certainly save many lives, what do you think?

They are not disregarding any law.
Federal law prohibits states from enforcing federal immigration laws. CT is not trying to enforce federal immigration laws.
CT is providing a state issued ID for people -- which is completely within its constitutional and statutory rights.
Can you cite what laws you think CT is breaking? The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) issues a Non-Driver Photo Identification Cards (ID) to any applicant who does not possess a valid motor vehicle operator's license or whose Connecticut license is presently under suspension. The applicant must be a Connecticut resident. ID cards are issued three to five years depending on the person's date of birth.
Note: If an applicant ever applies for a Connecticut Driver's License, the identification card must be surrendered when the driver's license is issued.
To obtain an ID card, qualified persons must apply at any Full Service DMV Branch Office, or the Stamford, Willimantic or Winsted Satellite offices (new issue ID cards will not be processed at the Putnam Satellite office, the Photo License Centers/Buses or AAA offices) and present the following:
Your certified Birth Certificate or valid Passport (hospital birth certificates or photocopies will not be accepted) and one additional form of identification from our list of acceptable forms of identification .
Note: If you are not a citizen of the United States , you will be required to show proof of your legal status in this country.
Holders of a B1 or B2 Visitor's Visa are not eligible for a driver's license or identification card unless a valid USCIS Employment Authorization Card and verification of an application pending for Lawful Permanent Residence is provided.
Foreign students with an F1 Visa status must show USCIS document I-20 and verification of current enrollment in a Connecticut school.
J1 Visa holders are required to show USCIS document DS2019.
H1B Visa holders are required to show a valid USCIS Employment Authorization Card and an employee verification letter from a Connecticut employer.
All applicants will be verified through USCIS for legal status before a driver's license/identification card will be issued.
Verification of Connecticut resident address (P.O. Box is not acceptable). Verification may be in the form of a utility bill, mortgage document, lease or rental agreement, or a postmarked letter dated within 90 days if the resident address is the same as the mailing address.
In accordance with the Social Security Act 42 U.S.C. 666 (a) (13), it will be required that the social security number of any applicant applying for an ID card be recorded on the Connecticut Identification Card Requirements and Application (form B-230). Your Social Security number will be verified with the Social Security Administration (SSA) before the ID card is issued. If you do not have a social security number, you must obtain a letter from SSA that states you are not eligible for a social security number. This letter must be submitted to DMV when applying for your ID card.
Completed Connecticut Identification Card Requirements and Application (form B-230). If applicant is under the age of eighteen, a parent, court-appointed legal guardian (certified court documentation must be presented), or spouse over 18 years of age must sign the Connecticut Identification Card Requirements and Application (form B-230).
$15 fee (cash or money order only made payable to the DMV).
Renewals:
DMV will send out renewal notices for ID cards to the current address we have on file. Proceed to any Full Service DMV Branch Office, or the Stamford, Willimantic or Winsted Satellite offices (ID card renewals will not be processed at the Putnam Satellite office, the Photo License Centers/Buses or AAA offices) and present the following:
The renewal notice (if available).
Certified copy of your birth certificate or valid passport (hospital birth certificates or photocopies will not be accepted).
Your ID card, which must be surrendered. If the ID card has been lost you must present one additional form of identification from our list of acceptable forms of identification .
If you are not a citizen of the United States, you will also be required to show proof of your legal status in this country as noted above.
If you have had a name change since your ID card was issued you must present a certified marriage license, certified divorce decree or a certified probate court name change document for name change other than in instances of marriage or divorce.
Verification of Connecticut resident address (P.O. Box is not acceptable). Verification may be in the form of a utility bill, mortgage document, lease or rental agreement, or a postmarked letter (dated within 90 days) if the resident address is the same as the mailing address.
Social Security number, which will be verified with the Social Security Administration (SSA) before the ID card is issued. If you do not have a social security number, you must obtain a letter from SSA that states you are not eligible for a social security number and present this to DMV.
$15 fee (cash or money order only made payable to DMV).
If applicant is under the age of eighteen, a parent, court-appointed legal guardian (certified court documentation must be presented), or spouse over 18 years of age must sign the application.
Duplicates (Replacements):
A person whose ID card has been lost, stolen or damaged may be issued a new identification card by applying at a DMV Full Service office, Satellite office or Photo License Center (not AAA or the Photo License Bus) and must present the following:
Certified copy of your birth certificate or valid passport (hospital birth certificates or photocopies will not be accepted) and one additional form of identification from list of acceptable forms of identification . If you are not a citizen of the United States, you will be required to show proof of legal status in this country as noted above.
$15 fee (cash or money order only made payable to DMV).
Change of Name:
Supporting documentation is required when a name change is requested. Supporting documents are a certified marriage license, certified divorce decree or a certified probate certificate for name change other than in instances of marriage or divorce. There is no fee for a change of name. If your ID is lost, follow the same procedure as noted above for obtaining a duplicate (replacement) ID card and pay the $15 fee.
Suspended Licenses:
A person whose Connecticut operator's license is under suspension may apply for an ID card as long as all of the above requirements are met.
Revoked Licenses:
A person whose privileges have been revoked cannot obtain an ID card.

The Agriculture Department sent $1.1 billion in farm payments to more than 170,000 dead people over seven years, congressional investigators said in a report released Monday by the Government Accountability Office. The findings come as the House of Representatives prepares to debate and pass farm legislation this week that would govern subsidies and the department's programs for the next five years.
GAO auditors reviewed payments from 1999 through 2005 in the report, which was requested by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. "It's unconscionable that the Department of Agriculture would think that a dead person was actively engaged in the business of farming," Grassley said.

So upon death decease loses all legal rights and probate makes a will legal. My will consists of two aspects a) Demand to be cremated b) Bestow to C my assets.
Probate takes place. Next of Kin desides contrary to my demand and has be buried and attempts to bestow my assets to B contrary to my demand in my legalised will for C to have them.
Bear in mind the wills integrity is not in question and as been legalised by probate - and, I have lost all my rights in death to my next of kin - why can't she have bestowed upon B my assets then?

Bianco was 17 when he purchased a telescope from the Stars and Stripes Hobby Center. On his way home, he had an automobile accident that badly damaged the telescope. The next day, he returned to the store with the telescope and demanded his money back. The store owner told him she was not legally requited to give him his money back, even though she knew he was a minor, because the telescope was damaged. Was the store owner correct? Why or why not?
