the numbers can now be deduced from common data.
Having no money in the system didn’t matter. The fact that future people will not get returns on this Ponzi scheme didn’t either. Maybe this might.
The irony in this is that the evil Adminstration that started Anti-Social In-Security swore that these new numbers would not be used to identify people. The Germans at the time were tattoo-ing numbers on Jews and the freedom lovers at the time pointed this out as a possible step toward totalitarianism.
Of course, later administrations swore that the US was winning Korea and Vietnam. That the Russians were about to invade Japan so we (The US Government) blasted two Japanese cities with nuclear weapons in addition to the fire storms that engulfed Tokyo and several other places. The US government swears that floride is not a poison, that we are winning in Iraq and Afganistan, that increasing debt reduces debt in the long run, etc.
