<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug5353, post: 2145150, member: 73555&quot;]Read the Wikipedia entry on &quot;Legal Tender&quot; and you may withdraw some of your comments.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Our government would like to track every dime you spend, demand to know where it came from, automatically withdraw your imputed fees and taxes every year, and evaluate and counsel you for your inopportune spending habits.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Cash gets in the way of that fascist dynamic.&nbsp; One example, as mentioned above, debit cards for welfare; the &quot;authorities&quot; will be the first to know if you spend it for booze instead of feeding your kids. </p><p><br /></p><p>It also means no bug-out, as your (liquid) wealth is no longer portable, and the paper trail will reveal who you&#039;ve dealt with and where you&#039;ve been, and when.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cash remains very inconvenient for centralized government planning.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, here&#039;s how the underground economy collapses overnight -- in the interests of &quot;national security,&quot; you are given 30 days to surrender all cash in exchange for debit cards.&nbsp; After that month, your cash is worthless, and PM&#039;s are subject to confiscation, like drugs.&nbsp; Your debit cards are monitored, and any deviation from the norm raises a red flag.&nbsp; DHS can do <u>anything</u> in the &quot;interests of national security,&quot; including detain you for 30 days without charges.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The people are powerless to stop this process.&nbsp; No one will buy or barter for your PM&#039;s, because there&#039;s no way to get debit cards, the &quot;new currency,&quot; for them.&nbsp; This is the heart of the War Against Cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thomas Jefferson told us 200 years ago, in effect, why this won&#039;t happen, but there&#039;s plenty of other diminutions of our liberty in the planning stage.&nbsp; One of the few benefits of being OLD -- I won&#039;t be here to see it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
