Couldn’t they send gold bullion, instead? Dollars are not worth much anymore.

Only possible use will be for food and for gas....

So if truckers pull in at the joints with the sign Eat Here and Get Gas will that count as a twofer?

In order to be programmable (only food/fuel), it will have to be a separate card. There will be a pin, as in any debit card. And BONUS: they will have a record of what food is bought in what amounts and how often how much fuel is purchased and where.

Just another little increment/experiment to work out the kinks for the new Federal Digital Scrip.

Butter is at least $1 a stick now.

I paid $5 for 4 quarters yesterday at a regional small chain that has tried to keep essentials affordable. Mu husband loves butter and has started melting a bit into some oilve oil for dipping instead of spreading the butter.

I looked at rolled butter: it was $11 and change for 2+ pounds. Same price, more storage/measurement hassle.

Yes when you’re trying to bring inflation under control dumping more money into the economy is just the way to do it. </sarcasm>

The only thing the Feds know how to do is give away what they don't have and destroy the currency.

When does it end? Are Americans just going to sit there and let the government pay them to get through life?

These people are just evil and stupid — and that also goes for the voters who put them in office.

Great, all they can come up with is Deutschmarks? Haven’t they learned anything from history? Wallet Makers, stop production, start producing wheel barrels.
