> We just don’t the government enough to let them track us everywhere. Eh, that’s the pseudo-libertarian objection (which is… dumb as bricks, practically speaking) but the most common objection is one of access. Until IDs are both free AND easy to obtain in the US (if you think they are, congrats: you’re in the lucky group) then a national id scheme will always be a non-starter. IDs face the same problem voting has in recent years (and historically): the systems of power use limiting access as a tool to control those they don’t like.
