What better way to control every aspect of one’s life, than to have to get the government’s permission to by anything.
Piss off the government, and you starve to death.

Actually quite the opposite...with Janet Yellen & The Fed around...we need to bring back the $500. & $1K bills!! $15 hamburgers and $30 meals for 2 at Denny’s are just around the corner!
Precisely! I haven't been leaving a trail for years and don't plan on starting anytime soon. Screw Rogoff. Screw the Federal Reserve.
This is not a problem. Instead of paying for something that costs $800 with eight $100 bills, I pay with 16 $50 bills. It penalizes the seller a whole lot more than it does me.
Oh, criminal. Like if I needed to make a backroom deal with Iran?
Harvard economists should be phased out completely.
It’s those bank charges.
It’s hard to stash $5,000 in small bills, under the mattress.
Looks like they got the idea from the EU and their banning of €500 bills.
The Council on Foreign Relations crowd making waves again.
.
Rogoff can ‘eff off.
I hope President Trump brings back the $500 bill and the $1,000 bill.
They had those denominations in the 1960’s, when the purchasing power of the dollar was far greater than today.
A cashless society would be tyranny and the ushering in of the final days.
Of course the leftists want transactions to be electronic, so they can be tracked. I use cash, almost always. I always tip in cash.
Dumber than one of Bill Clinton's bimbos.
I would enjoy watching Sergeant Donny Donowitz explain to this Brownshirt how dumb he is.
Can't get rid of 20's...
Why not...cuz that's what the ATM feeds ya.
Me, too. Most everything goes onto Discover for the cashback, and the full balance is paid electronically and automatically every month.
On the surface your post would be taken as tongue in cheek.
But in fact, that is *exactly* where they are going with this.
Cash is simply the avenue of least resistance/first attack.
The ultimate goal is now as it always has been -
total control of everything and everyone.
I am in 100% agreement with this but for a completely different reason.
I lived in Japan and their paper notes start at 1,000 yen. From there it went to 5,000 yen notes to 10,000 yen notes to 100,000 yen notes and I believe the next one was 500,000 yen note. How high they went I do not know.
All I know is it saves a lot of money by having more coins and less paper.
BTW, when the Japanese check out they almost always pay the exact amount. If the price is 1,272 yen they pay out the exact amount. Who wants to walk around with a pocket full of change?
I think there was a 50,000 yen note but I'm not sure. It's been awhile.
And then hackers will empty your bank account.
From what I understand the Clintons now are.
getting rid of cash without replacing it with some decentralized replacement ... and they’re have full control over your money.
your money for forever be in their control.
