“Here’s your Social Security card. It’s paper & has to last you forever. Don’t laminate it”

Social Security cards are made of paper, but a holder is supposed to have it for a lifetime. “Here’s your social security card. It’s paper & has to last you forever. Don’t laminate it. Good luck! -The Government” is a jocular line that has been printed on an image. “Here’s your social security card. It’s paper & has to last you forever. Don’t laminate it. Good luck asshole” was posted on Twitter by Mike Leffingwell‏ on January 24, 2011.
 
The “Good luck asshole” ending is sometimes changed. “Here’s your social security card. It’s paper & has to last you forever. Don’t laminate it. Good luck! -The Government” was posted on Twitter on January 25, 2011.
 
   
Wikipedia: Social Security (United States)
In the United States, Social Security is the commonly used term for the federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program. The original Social Security Act was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935, and the current version of the Act, as amended, encompasses several social welfare and social insurance programs.
