A US driver's license?  I don't know, but for some reason, I don't
think it's a good idea.  Probably just my cynicism in looking at 
the way the Fed. Govt. runs Social Security and the Welfare/foodstamp
program... Seriously, though, I don't see the current scheme as
that big an inconvenience.  I've used my FL driver's license to
rent a car in Boston with no difficulty.  I think most states
have liberal enough rules letting you drive with other driver's
licenses unless you somehow become a resident (or somesuch).  As
far as the suspension aspect of this discussion, I think that
the "information age" should be able to deal with that by putting
all the data so that it's accessible by everyone.
