    “the government could be responsible for re-issuing every American a new Social Security number” This might be a motivation to keep fucking up: simply slow walk or trash replacements for anyone who doesn’t bow down to Trump, so they can’t file taxes, access benefits, or any other processes that require a valid SSN.
