At this point we mine as well use Advertising IDs as we realize our Democracy is really just a Corporatocracy. It would be an easy transition.

But I'm being facetious. To answer your concern, the USG is representative of it's constituents, and we're all idiots. If you tried to fix this, it would instantly be labeled as some new type of slavery or at the least a privacy-invasive measure and all Politicians would be out in droves vowing to defeat your Communist agenda.

There would be not a second of consideration of how Social Security is any different.
