I’m not sure that Dave Ramsey said that people should use cash for privacy reasons

Of course he did not and you nailed his reason.

This gov't is looking at any and all approaches to confiscate our wealth. This Financial Reform Bill gives them the tools to monitor what we have. They will be able to "calculate" how much cash we might have on hand, simply by looking at pay checks, credit cards and what the average person in that neighborhood spends. It is very scary what the government can do and how they can "fill in the blanks" and "connect the dots."

And yet they cannot somehow track 20 million illegal aliens, identify them (ohhhh, nooooo that would be tooooooo difffficult to do, if not unconstitutional or hurt peoples feelings), get into their money remittance transactions back to Mexico and wherever else, and begin a massive deportation program.

Who's country is it anymore?!! Illegals? Coddled and completely under the radar. Legals and Citizens/Native born (unlike Obama)? No rights!
