How do they verify that i am eligible to vote if they do not check for ID assuming i speak perfect american english and look like an US citizen?

You have to be registered to vote and that has to be your designated voting location. They have a list of names of people who are registered to vote at that location and when you walk up you tell them your name. They look through their list, find your name and have you sign next to it. Then you vote.

But assuming that the centralized ID is not compulsory in USA - how they even verify that the person who wants to register himself - that he is a citizen of the USA?

My votes since I've been of age

-Clinton
-Bush
-Obama
-Romney
-McMullin in protest to Trump and Hillary. Two of the worst candidates in history.
-Right now Warren's a little(kind of alot) extreme for my liking but she has a slight edge over Tulsi. Sadly the Democratic party is a **** show right now though. I miss their old actual days of true Liberalism. The Republican party is laughable at best. It really needs some young blood.

At the end of the day, give me a Democrat or Republican that preaches capitalism, preaches unity from both parties, is mutual on the 2nd amendment, and is for state rights for abortion and he/she has my vote. That's not asking for much. Sadly it's just too extreme. What's the point of going from one extreme in Trump to another? Bidens not terrible but I fear he's lost it a bit. Dude can't even remember what state he's in like Trump. I call him Trump-lite.

Helping people get through difficult times creates social stability, upward mobility, and improves their lives long-term.

In actuality many of these programs unintentionally, and some times intentionally, limit and restrict the upward mobility of those on these programs. It is creating dependency. I’ve personally seen it 10s of thousands of times.

I say this as a policy expert on a welfare based federal program. Many of these programs have income and resource limits. limits that are far to low to be a livable income necessary to afford things like insurance. And potential penalties are directly counter productive to people getting back on their feet. Penalties like reduced benefits, insurance premium penalties and overpayments that can eventually be applied to tax returns or other federal payments.

Yes, there are difficulties for people that have to rely on these programs long-term. Would they be better off never having received money in the first place, or is the better solution to find a better way to transition them of welfare programs?

There are several changes that can easily be made to these programs that would facilitate people getting off these programs. Such as changing the math on how “earned income” (self employment and wages) affect these benefits, increasing the resource and income cutoffs and stop penalizing people under ISM type policies.

Also, there is an astounding lack of connection between these types of programs and job training or educational programs.

Hey, I found Gameface on the news.

Remember how he behaved against Jazzrule.

Also, here is a change I would make to Medicare effective immediately


Medical based Medicare beyond ESRD claims. Allow someone to be proven medically disabled and thereby entitled to Medicare. It directly targets those most in need of insurance. Make this a separate benefit from Disability Insurance. apply the normal insurance premiums. People can work and not worry about the loss of the insurance associated with shutting off their benefit under the current system.
