The SSN is a disaster. It was created as the account number for the government-run retirement system. I have my original card. It says “Not for identification.”
It is now the de facto government-issued citizen identification number. It is a key to all the information there is about you.
The number has no controls. Until the advent of mainframe computer systems, there were millions of people who shared a “unique” SSN.
There is not even a check digit embedded in it.
People in government have no concept of the scope of the problem. They are incapable of solving it.
Step #1 is the check digit(s). Will it take 3 years to formulate and enact a law and implement it?
The remaining steps aren’t likely to happen in the next 200 years.

Step 1: Abolition of the illegal and unconstitutional SS system.
Step 2: Abolition of the IRS and 16th A.
Step 3: Further shrink the leviathan, Fedzilla, with a LOW %, no exemptions, national retail sales taxes paid to the Fed by the State, as apportioned by Census, by the entities of 1st sale.
At worst, abolish the EITC (no person should pay $0%) and hang over the data to 3rd party for mining...They’ll find the ‘issues’ and assist in tracking down for prosecution.
Leaving it all in the hands of govt = nothing getting done, nor better.
