 should congress pass a bill requiring food stamp recipients to show a photo id when purchasing groceries  yes no undecided id to purchase food stamps and voting this is a no brainer the naacp just had a protest rally about id s required for voting and they required all in attendance to produce a valid picture id the government can pay to have the picture taken when applicant applies and provide this on the food stamp card many require photo id with your credit card this is no different during check out this then provides another photo id for voting reduction in fraud would pay for the whole thing well worth it don t know how anyone who is sane can argue against it  require photo id one on the other comments stated we don t need excessive laws and regulations that limit our liberty and i totally agree with that sentiment the problem is that he she misses the point when he she ignores the fact that the misuse and abuse of food stamp benefits is a wasteful use of fiscal resources passing a law that stops fraud and abuse is a good law and would be a responsible move on the part of congress photo id my problem with all of these new laws is that every time you pass a new law you take a freedom away somewhere down the road and the end result is a stronger stronger and more overpowering centralized government america did not become the the greatest nation in history by legislating everything under the sun to the contrary it is the lack of regulation and the taxation that tends to accompany regulation that truly promotes freedom and or life liberty and the pursuit of happiness we do not need any more new laws   should congress pass bill requiring food stamp recipients show photo when purchasing groceries
