He's on solid ground in that the seller of the gift card is devaluing the dollar by the amount of the expired gift card.
I think it is a violation of federal law to devalue the worth of the dollar.
There must be an exception in that law for politicians and central bankers.
Maybe so. I wonder if he would also consider legislation returning all unclaimed tax refunds to the taxpayers who paid taxes and did not receive a refund. It's not the government's money.
