My neighbors here in the blue part of Ohio would be all for this, as long as it limited me and not them. They aren’t very good at seeing ramifications of what they think are “good ideas”.
This is the red line where the government needs to be burnt into cinders. Make a list of names of those who support this and try to advance it. These are the people whose blood needs to water the tree of liberty as they are hanging from it.
Ultimately, this would be a gross infringements of the 4th Amendment and the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.
When the government can see what you are buying they can on a whim, in typical knee-jerk fashion, turn you into a criminal for those purchases. Its been proven again and again and again that if they CAN do something they WILL do something, regardless of legalities. DO NOT OPEN THIS DOOR.
“Government Control of What You Buy Grows More Popular”
And all the Sheeple said baaaaayes
Just wow. And, if you go to worship services where the Bible is taught, you’re going into deep debt.
“And attempts to purchase a restricted item — like, say, a firearm without proper background clearance — could be automatically denied.”
The Dems would love this, There would be no need for gun control laws, just simply deny all gun purchases.
I will not comply.
Take note of this! It’s what the statists want. But one thing is missing. The ability to take what they want from your account. And they will do just that! If you have “too much” money, they will take the “excess” and give it to someone who will vote the right way.
There will be an exemption for the ruling elite, but all others will have no choice but to conform.
They will implement ration controls, allowing you only so much any product, such as health care, gas, toilet paper, rice or wheat, fish or beet, etc. I worked in Ration Control in Korea for J-1 for six weeks and implemented a newer system which got the two officers there MSMs for implementing my ideas.
Everything will be subject to “normal use” allocations. Of course, there are exceptions to policy. Exceptions are basically tailored to fit the needs of organizations and high ranking individuals.
CBDCs are fascist coin. They must be opposed at all costs.
There's always barter...and always will be.
And you can bet that NO such restrictions will be placed on EBT cards.

Unless you’re a Party member in good standing!

Legislation to support this type of project has probably already passed in a massive 5000 page bill, written by Congressional staff and lobbyists, which no Congresscritter read. Likely the language of the enabling legislation was carefully crafted to authorize digital currency currency by delegating to the bureaucrats at the Treasury Department or the Federal Reserve the authority to study, issue, and regulate digital currency. In this way Congress critters can deny they voted for new shackles on the citizens while at the same time serving the donor base and the bureaucracy.
The aggregation of hundreds, or even thousands, of unrelated items in massive bills is standard operating procedure today in Congress. Congresscritters love these bills because it allows them to avoid accountability. The advance of the progressive state has been enabled by so called “conservative” Republicans voting for liberal legislation hiding in massive bills.
This should be encouraged.
Then, whenever there is something like a power outage and it becomes completely unusable, it’s time to roll out a special sale on commodities.
“Want a gallon of milk? OK, $30, cash only. Oh, you didn’t plan for this? Too, F**in bad. Now, $40.”
“don’t have that?” “OK, but the guy behind you does. See how the market works? New guy, $20.”
its funny how they perpetually march forward on this quest to dominate, not understanding that people are tired of it and are becoming more and more willing to spill blood over it. How is it they STILL don’t grasp why Trump was elected? And really , even Mr. Hope and Change before him- for the same reasons. People voted for them because they are tired of the abomination that our government has become.
A Socialist Control Freak wet dream. Coming soon. They can’t resist.
Or ammo.
And of course, that old "shall not be infringed" will be automatically erased. Like the rest of your rights, both enumerated and not.
Secession is the only solution at this point.
IF anything can be used for the good of the people, the government will find a way to use it against the people.
