The cost of maintaining Trudeau's proposed 100,000 new hires is significant. As of 2023, Canada’s federal public service employs nearly 360,000 individuals. Over the next 20 years, sustaining this workforce will cost taxpayers close to $1 trillion. This immense figure emphasizes the unsustainable nature of the federal bureaucracy and highlights the pressing need for reform.

Life is about to change for every Australian. This bill will be misused because this bill is written to be misused. No hiding behind anonymous accounts or faulted false addresses. You can expect a knock on your door at home, work, or school as we're seeing happening in other countries with digital identity already in The government knows digital ID will be compulsory by the device of preventing access to government services, banking services, air travel, and major purchases for any Australian who does not have a digital ID. The digital ID will in effect create a live data file of your movements, purchases, accounts, and associates containing reference to every piece of data being held in the private and government sector as a first step in a wider agenda.

We spend £15,000,000 daily on expenses like hotels, which is insulting to hardworking Brits struggling to make ends meet. There aren't enough schools, GPs, or homes being built, and the influx of people from other countries is changing our country beyond recognition.

The newly formed Department of Government Efficiency has identified California's high-speed rail project as a major example of government waste. Initially projected to cost $33 billion in 2008, costs have now soared to nearly $128 billion, with no passengers transported as of 2024. The project has received $6.8 billion in federal funds and is seeking an additional $8 billion, yet remains largely undefined. Past leaders of the project have expressed doubts about its viability, with significant funding gaps still present. Despite high taxpayer contributions, California's infrastructure remains poor. The high-speed rail project is deemed a waste of taxpayer dollars, failing to address current or future transportation needs. It's time to end federal support for this project and focus on more efficient solutions.

I estimate that waste, fraud, and abuse in federal, state, and local entitlement programs cost about $1 trillion annually. We could save this money by implementing three key measures: front-end identity verification, eliminating self-certification, and monitoring the back end of benefit programs. These steps would significantly reduce improper payments and ensure that benefits reach only those who are truly eligible.

According to a new report by the US House Committee on Homeland Security majority, the annual cost for housing and caring for asylum seekers is estimated to be $451 billion. This includes expenses for both their accommodation and general welfare.

"my long term personal political view has always been in favor of ID cards." "I supported the last Labour government's introduction of ID cards." "The first bill I've spoken on in Parliament was the ID cards bill, which the then conservative Lib Dem coalition scrapped." "It wasn't in the manifesto." "my other colleagues in government have started this conversation about how we might roll out more digital ID." "I think that a system of digital ID can also help with illegal working, enforcement of other laws as well." "Forgive me, could we be in a situation where everybody would be compelled to have a digital ID at some point?" "Well, the government's position at the moment is to look at digital ID, further rollout."

Illegal immigrants cost taxpayers roughly $9,000 each, more than what we spend on Medicaid beneficiaries, vulnerable American citizens' healthcare, and military retirement benefits for veterans. This highlights the significant and unsustainable cost of the current border crisis, especially at the state and local levels. Translation: The cost of illegal immigrants to taxpayers is high, exceeding spending on healthcare for Americans and military benefits for veterans. This emphasizes the significant and unsustainable expense of the current border crisis, particularly at state and local levels.

Illegal immigration is costing American taxpayers $9,000 per immigrant, more than what is spent on Medicaid for vulnerable citizens. This fiscal irresponsibility needs to be addressed to prevent bankruptcy. State and local governments bear the brunt of the financial burden, leading to cuts in services or increased taxes for citizens.

The speaker argues against digital IDs, listing 20 concerns: functionality creep into immigration, healthcare, banking, voting, driving, and travel; loss of anonymity; government overreach; it won't stop illegal immigration; it would rely on phones; enforcement could be undermined by cash-paying employers; single point of failure; government as the nexus of verification; a state surveillance honeypot; inevitable future abuses by any regime; massive cost and bureaucratic drag; marginalization of those unable or unwilling to comply; UK previously rejected ID cards; examples of failures in other countries (India ANWA, EU database); authoritarian temptations; excuses for illegal immigration and labor; burden shifting to citizens; ratchet effect; not for stated reasons but globalist aims; alternative is zero-knowledge proofs where individuals hold ID; digital IDs from the state are a horrendous idea and must be stopped.

Some people may struggle with voter ID laws because not everyone has easy access to copy their ID. It's important to consider the impact on rural communities without nearby copy services. While proving identity is necessary, it should not be overly burdensome.

A speaker discusses India's nationwide digital ID system, Aadhaar, and chip away at the assurances given by officials who praised its rollout. The speaker notes that about a week or so earlier, Kirstjarma met with Prime Minister Modi and top officials in India to extol the benefits of digital ID, highlighting Aadhaar and claiming a fabulous nationwide rollout. The speaker then presents a troubling counterpoint: cybercriminals are claiming they have stolen the entire Aadhaar database—describing it as the database of 815,000,000 people with details such as names, addresses, identity confirmations, bank details, and more. According to these claims, the criminals are currently selling the entire database for $80,000 at a time. The speaker acknowledges uncertainty about verification but states that this story is circulating and raises questions about security. The core concern is about how secure the system will be when every facet of a person’s life could be held in one place: passport, driving license, NHS records, criminal records, bank details, every transaction, gas and electricity bills, travel records, flight records, car tax, council tax, and any arrest or hospital appointment information. The speaker asks whether we can trust the people running these systems to keep data secure, given the frequency of data breaches and data thefts, including several large incidents in the past year in the country. The concern is framed as a general warning about the viability of a centralized digital ID system that aggregates extensive personal information, and how well it would function in practice if it were compromised. A specific anecdotal point is raised: India’s example is cited as a real-world instance of the system’s security challenges, with the speaker encouraging listeners to look up the incident. The speaker notes that Star Lord was out in India holding up India as an example of how well the system could work, referencing a perceived contrast between the praise and the security breach claim. The segment closes with a skeptical modulo—“Right, Kia. We believe you.”—casting doubt on official assurances. In summary, the speaker highlights a purported massive data breach claim against India’s Aadhaar system, questions the security of a centralized digital identity that consolidates extensive personal data, and contrasts official praise with concerns about data vulnerability and trust in those who manage such systems.

One estimate claims it would cost $88 billion to deport one million people a year. A speaker questions whether that is what American taxpayers should expect. Another speaker asks what price should be put on national security and whether it is worth the cost. A speaker asks if mass deportation can occur without separating families. Another speaker claims families can be deported together.

According to a report by the US House Committee on Homeland Security Majority, the annual cost for housing and caring for asylum seekers is $451 billion. This includes both their accommodation and general welfare.

More than 25% of the annual federal deficit is spent taking care of illegal immigrants. In 2023, the total outlay was $6.1 trillion, the total revenue was $4.4 trillion, and the federal deficit was $1.7 trillion. In 2023, $451 billion was spent taking care of illegal immigrants, which is 26.5% of the $1.7 trillion deficit. If the border was secure and there was control over who enters the country, 26.5% could be cut from the deficit. This is especially important because the money is borrowed, meaning interest will be paid on it. In 2023, $451 billion was borrowed to support illegals, and interest will be paid on that amount.

Since 2012, the government has wasted nearly $3 trillion in taxpayer money. Last year alone, improper payments totaled $247 billion. This includes payments to deceased individuals; over $530 million in pension payments went to dead people. Medicare improperly paid out $47 billion, and Medicaid, $81 billion. Fraudulent payments under the Biden administration reached $764 billion in just three years. These improper payments add up to $2.8 trillion – enough to cover five years of US foreign aid. This amounts to $850 per person in the country.

This bill is like a poll tax because getting a proof of citizenship document costs money, unless states provide it for free. It's like the Jim Crow poll tax of 2024, and we should reject it.

In Georgia, over half the population lacks a passport, and driver's licenses, including Real IDs, don't prove citizenship. The proposed bill could cost Georgians over $700 million to register to vote. This is characterized as a poll tax and blatant voter suppression.

We know the government is looking at digital ID cards at the moment. Well, Kirst Dahmer, our prime minister, has said we are looking at what other countries have done to bring in sort of digital accreditation. I think there's real actually benefits right across here from obviously dealing with illegal working, but also actually imagine if your viewers imagine that they had one credential that would allow them to access all the different government services and our public services do. I think it is an interesting idea that other countries have taken forward and we want to learn from what they've done.

It is agreed that a significant amount of money is wasted, with estimates suggesting around a third of all Medicare dollars are spent without providing any useful benefit. The goal is to eliminate this waste, not to cut Medicare benefits. Medicare is a large entitlement program that needs to be maintained without bankrupting the country or denying seniors their entitlements.

Key claims cited include: "It will stop illegal migration." "The United States just stopped illegal migration without digital IDs." "If the digital ID were to actually link social media vaccine records and bank accounts, that would allow governments to censor and control the population." "Real IDs contain embedded microchips that bring us one step closer to digital IDs." "Those mobile driver's licenses or MDLs are digital IDs, and they're just one more link in the chain." "A YouGov poll found that UK opinion towards digital IDs was 42% in favor and 45% against." "The good news is that the backlash to the digital IDs appears to be strong and growing, and real corruption is on display."

According to a new report by the US House Committee on Homeland Security majority, the annual cost for housing and caring for asylum seekers is estimated to be $451 billion. This includes expenses for both their accommodation and general welfare.

Here in India, the I think it's a billion people have digital ID. It's been taken up on a voluntary basis in huge numbers, not least because it means that you can access your own money, make payments so much more easily than is available with others. So I think now we need to go out and make that case of the huge benefits that this will bring. There needs to be a national debate about it. And I think that the more people see the benefits that come with this, the more, as has happened in other countries, people say, that will make my life easier, and therefore, I want to get on with it.

Digital ID: what could possibly go wrong? The transcript recalls Kirstyama’s recent visit to India to meet Modi and top officials, promoting India’s nationwide digital ID system called Aadhaar. It then presents a provocative claim: cyber criminals are reportedly saying they have stolen the entire Aadhaar database—815,000,000 people's details, including names, addresses, identity confirmations, bank details, and more—and are allegedly selling the database for $80,000 at a time. It notes uncertainty about verification but says the story is circulating. The speaker emphasizes concerns about security and the practicality of such a system: if every aspect of a person’s life—passport, driving license, NHS records, criminal record, bank details, all transactions, bills, travel and flight records, vehicle taxes, council taxes, hospital appointments, arrest records, and other personal data—are stored in one place, how safe and secure can it be? The question is raised of whether the people running these systems can be trusted to protect data, given ongoing data breaches and thefts, including several large incidents in the past year within the country. There’s a rhetorical comparison to India’s example, suggesting that this is a test case for the security of a highly centralized digital ID system. The speaker notes that StarMove had previously used India as an example of how well such a system could work, implying skepticism about that portrayal with the closing line, “The ironic thing is that StarMove was just out there holding them up as an example of how well the system could work. Yeah. Right, Kia. We believe you.” Key points: - Aadhaar is India’s nationwide digital ID system. - Alleged theft of 815,000,000 Aadhaar records, with claims of selling the data in chunks for $80,000; verification of this claim is uncertain. - The aggregation of extensive personal data in one system raises concerns about security and trust in the guardians of the data. - Data breaches are frequent, including notable incidents in the past year. - The India example is presented as a cautionary reference, contrasting with prior praise from StarMove.
