The Completely Non-Durable Social Security Card

(Filed under: Baby Stuff)

So our baby's Social Security card came today. Pretty cool. The government officially recognizes her and will give her money when she gets old. Maybe. If the whole system hasn't crashed by then.

So the Social Security card is something you're supposed to keep for your entire life. Does it make any sense at all that it's just a piece of paper? And you're not allowed to laminate it? How archaic is that? Wouldn't they be a little more durable if we made them out of plastic like credit cards, or at least gave them some kind of protective coating?
