    Fight Club had it backwards. Instead of attacking the banks to wipe out people’s credit someone should release everyone’s SSN. The mass fraud will make credit useless.

        Between this Anthem, Target, and OPM, it seems likely that most Americans have their SSN out there for criminals to buy.

      This is brilliant. The government could put out a searchable database.
