I'm still not convinced a national ID would be useful or even correct. The only three things I know of that SSNs are really used for (which are currently accepted uses and not DBAs being lazy) are tax ID numbers (which are more or less their intended use), Social Security itself, and the "credit reporting agencies." which are horribly irresponsible. The way they currently use them was originally illegal.
