“The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates this measure will raise $388 million in tax revenues over the next decade. That’s enough to pay for about 0.1% – one tenth of one percent – of estimated highway expenditures during that period. In other words, the passport revocation measure has nothing to do with actually raising revenue. It has a lot more to do with showing US citizens ‘who’s the boss.’ And the boss is not you. The Wyden bill includes a provision that would result in passport revocation or denial if you refuse to disclose your Social Security number when you apply for or renew your passport.”
