Quotes-start.png "The House bill calls on states to issue ID cards free to those who cannot afford them. To that, the National Governors Association says an existing federal mandate requiring states to provide new, secure licenses and identification cards will cost $11 billion. Would Congress care to write a check? If IDs were free and universally distributed, the policy would make sense, but they are not." Quotes-end.png
