Obama would have to send money to Iran by ship if that is the case. Obama is the biggest money launderer going.

I never pay in cash.

Nowadays I swipe my debit card.

My wallet is empty.

Following this logic, to get rid of cash because criminals use cash, launder money, evade authorities, etc.

1. Then ban motels, because motels are used by prostitutes and drug dealers, who set up meth labs, and other criminal activites on rented property.

2. Ban cars because criminals drive around in cars.

3. Ban cellular phones because these phones, esp. throwaway phones, are used quite a bit to arrange criminal activity.

4. Ban rental real estate, because criminal types often rent apartments or office space, to carry out their crimes.

5. Ban food stamps or EBT cards, because they are used in money laundering schemes.

This is just off the top of my head, but, anyone else see my point?? Anyone else agree?? There are so many ways which criminals take advantage of everyday transactions. So are we going to ban such transactions, because it will stop criminals from that form of crime????

4 years of Hillary and that $10 bill will barely pay the tax on a 32 oz. soda.

It seems you believe the stated reason that minimizing the use of cash is intended to reduce criminal activity.

“Every transaction inevitably leaves a trail. Cash doesn’t"

This is the real reason. The government wants a record of everyone's transactions.
