Social Security Card Arrived

Sorrow and Joy. Sorrow because the Federal government has decided to start normalizing our child – converting him into a traceable number. At the same time, it allows us to do things like open bank accounts for him and deduct him from taxes (if only we where not phased out). One thing for sure: this portion of our friendly Federal Government sure is efficient and quick.
Funny things we found on the Social Security card (I do not even know where mine is, and I remember seeing it only once in my life). It says it should not be signed until child is 18 years old, or when he gets his first job. I would imagine it is for Selective Service purposes and tax paying purposes respectively. Why give them out if not to be signed? What makes a person capable of signing something? Being an adult (18 years) or having a job? Raises many questions beyond this small snippet of information.
Too bad that by the time I get my Social Security, it will be bankrupt. By the time our child gets his Social Security…. well, it will be a joke. Maybe a bad taste joke.
