I went to the Maryland DMV this morning. Apparently, 4 forms of federally issued identification aren't good enough. Weird.

Anyhow, I was wondering: what would it be like if the state had to operate the DMV in such a way that it turned a profit? Would the policies be more straightforward, efficient, or streamlined? Would the prices be higher? What would our roads be like?

I guess the same questions could be asked of our government at large -- what would happen if we actually held our representatives accountable fiscally? What would it do to our taxes, and what would it do to the policies?

Random thoughts on a Saturday morning. Enjoy, discuss, whatever. Cheers.
