But the US government will not be forcing people to submit DNA smaples
before they can use government services. You don't need a credit rating,
your driving history tells little about you that can be used to deny you
access to gov't programs, and your finger prints should be available to the
government if you've ever been convicted. There is nothing the government
can collect from you that can be near as damaging as your DNA information.

Using your analogy the fact that the government has my drivers license
number means that having my DNA code is the same thing.
