The card fits the program....SS is a ponzi scheme and a joke, if you intend to retire on it, a very BAD joke.
that is not the issue here.
your SS number is the basis for employment, banking, credit, a whole host of other things in this country. and it consists of nothing more then some numbers on a blue card, that anyone with a PC and a laser printer can duplicate. its totally useless as a method of authentication.
